9 of 10 wildfires are human-caused.
Prevent sparks: maintain brakes/tires, secure tow chains; avoid driving on dry grass. Mow early when calm; skip power tools on hot, windy days. Keep water near fires. Never toss lit cigarettes; use a metal ash container.

Before you take a bite, take a look! Some sidewalk food vendors operate without required health permits, putting you at risk for foodborne illness. Santa Barbara County reminds you to choose food vendors who display a valid health permit.
