Fire inspectors out door knocking for fire prevention but there is no door to knock on for the fuel infested Washington Park.

It’s a change many residents didn’t anticipate, coastal neighborhoods, long thought to be relatively safe, are now officially in the wildfire danger zone.”We presume in Carmel that we’re fairly safe,” Michael Spicer said.

However, the new Cal Fire hazard maps show otherwise. One Monterey resident said he wasn’t surprised by the updated risk designation.

“It doesn’t surprise me that it’s, on a high, fire zone. Yes. Because, as you know, we live in a forest,” Leonard Levenson said.

In response, Cal Fire has deployed six inspectors to visit homeowners, educating them about vegetation management, structure hardening, and defensible space, the key factors that can reduce wildfire damage.

Knock! Knock! Land Shark? Mormons?
