GENERAL PLAN UPDATE - PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT NOW AVAILABLE |
|
Have you had an opportunity to review the Draft General Plan Update?
A city is people. Not buildings, roads, or cars, but people define a city. Despite excellent design, beautiful color, and designer intent, buildings, roads, and cars are inanimate. Alone they provide no life for the city. When designers talk about “activating a street or space,” they are talking about adding people, who interact, socialize, recreate, and live in that space. The vibrancy of a city is measured by its people, not its things. The overarching goal of every General Plan is to create places where people want to be and can thrive—places that people will find vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive, connected by safe, comfortable streets for all users.
This General Plan aims to build places that are focused around people, creating a city and future that will meet the diverse needs and preferences of the community for all residents and visitors. Be a part of creating that future and share your comments on the draft General Plan Update.

BE SAFE WHEN GRILLING

Did you know that July is the peak month for grill fires? Rancho Cucamonga firefighters continue to respond to a number of emergency calls involving grill and kitchen fires every year. When cooking is taken outdoors, RCFD encourages you to follow these 11 important grilling safety tips so we can ensure a safe and happy summer for everyone:
- BBQ grills should only be used outdoors
- Keep grill away from your home, deck railings, branches, and other flammable objects
- Remove grease or fat buildup from the grill and trays before use
- Make sure the grill lid is open before lighting it
- Check gas tank hose for leaks before using the grill
- If the grill flame goes out, turn grill and gas off and wait five minutes before re-lighting
- Keep children and pets at least three feet away from grill
- Never leave the grill unattended
- If using charcoal, let coals cool completely before disposing in a metal container
- Charcoal grills are not allowed in apartment complexes or condominium communities
- Use extra precaution when using a grill to avoid burn injuries
