Do You Need Help Handling An Emergency?The PB Community Services District, the Fire Department, and the Carmel Chapter of the American Red Cross feel that proper emergency preparation is the best way to enhance community safety. The PB Fire Dept has trained over 80 neighborhood volunteers to be certified through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program.. More...

It has now also affected Knobcone Pine, Bishop Pine and Douglas Fir. Plots to monitor the development of the disease on the Monterey peninsula were established in 1996 and its severity increased dramatically for the next three years.

Wildland Fire - Now What?The recent Basin Complex Fire in the Big Sur area gave us another vivid reminder of the danger of excessive forest fuel loading. Meaningful response (short of abandonment) by those living in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) is a matter of self-preservation, if not a duty toward fellow citizens. We have excellent fire departments in these areas, but reactive capability is not the most effective protection from wildfire. Preventative measures are far more effective and reduce sensitivity to real-time operational surprises from weather, humans, and manmade equipment. Fire officials tell us there are three elements that contribute to preventative fire-safety in the WUI. More...
