About Us

The Fire Safe Council (FSC) of Chula Vista was established to provide fire safety to residents of Chula Vista through community outreach, engagement and education.

The Chula Vista FSC helps educate residents about how to be better prepared for wildfires and implements steps to protect their families and homes from the damaging effects of wildfire.

Our goal is to foster fire prevention and safety throughout the city of Chula Vista, while encouraging community involvement.

Learn what you can do before, during, and after a wildfire to stay fire safe and fire wise.
