Every year during the 4th of July celebration, illegal fireworks are the leading cause for fires in County Parks and open space preserves. OC Parks and OCFA have asked us to assist in their fire prevention efforts by providing an additional presence in parks over this peak holiday. Three OC Parks locations have been selected due to their high attendance, and high fire activity due to illegal fireworks. Shifts at these locations reflect peak attendance hours for these parks. Locations may be different than a normal Red Flag Fire Watch deployment and may include volunteers providing walking patrols within the park. They have been chosen after extensive research, and the assistance from OC Parks and OCFA staff.

Wind down your day with a hike in the beautiful Irvine open space. Enjoy the evening while hiking the East Fork and Ridge Route loop. This hike is just over 3 miles and experiences 700 feet of total climbing elevation including several short, steep inclines. Please be prepared with plenty of water and closed toe, sturdy shoes. The evenings are full of fun sounds and smells and this will be a great way to decompress after a busy day.
