This week, our Board recognized the Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council and presented a proclamation for Wildfire Preparedness Month. Thank you to the Ventura County Fire Department, the Fire Safe Council, and residents across Ventura County who are taking steps to create defensible space, harden homes, and prepare for emergencies. Wildfire preparedness is a shared responsibility, and these efforts help keep our communities safe.
Learn how you can be prepared at: ready.venturacounty.gov and venturafiresafe.org/.

My office has received concerns from residents regarding a vendor operating along Somis Road. Community members reported that the vendor was serving food and improperly disposing of grease associated with the operation.
In response to these concerns, Ventura County Environmental Health conducted an inspection and issued a citation for violations observed at the site. The vendor vacated the lot. We appreciate residents who brought this matter to our attention and wanted to provide an update on the actions taken to address the issue.
I support local businesses and enjoy good food but businesses need to operate legally to protect the health and safety of our community. Ventura County is actively cracking down on illegal and unpermitted food stands and pop-ups through coordinated enforcement sweeps by local police, sheriff’s deputies, and the Environmental Health Division. These unlicensed vendors pose significant public health risks due to a lack of proper refrigeration, handwashing facilities, and safe cooking equipment.
Please stay safe and learn more about food safety and how to report issues at rma.venturacounty.gov/divisi….

On this D-Day anniversary, we remember and honor Robert “Bob” M. Taylor — a proud Camarillo resident, World War II veteran, and D-Day survivor.
Bob landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, during one of the most consequential military operations in history. He later helped liberate Buchenwald concentration camp and lived a life defined by courage, service, and humility.
Although Bob passed away earlier this year at the age of 102, his legacy continues to inspire our community and our nation. Today, we remember his sacrifice and the sacrifice of all those who fought to defend freedom on D-Day.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸 #DDay #GreatestGeneration #VenturaCounty #HonorAndRemember

Proud to support projects like these as a Board Member of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Grant funding is helping to support these efforts. Reducing wildfire risk takes planning, partnership, and a variety of tools working together. These efforts help protect our communities, strengthen public safety, and create more resilient landscapes for future generations. Thank you to Ventura County Fire Department and all of the partners working every day to make Ventura County safer.
Today, VCFD and our partners are actively reducing wildfire risk across the county through a variety of fuels management projects designed to protect communities in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI).
In Thousand Oaks, specifically the Rancho area by the 101 and 23 freeways, crews and a tracked masticator is reducing hazardous vegetation and creating strategic fuel breaks to help slow the spread of future wildfires.
Near Long Canyon in Simi Valley, targeted goat grazing is being used to naturally reduce invasive grasses and other flashy fuels while minimizing environmental impacts.
In Upper Ojai, partners are conducting a 65-acre prescribed burn to safely remove excess vegetation under carefully planned conditions, reducing fuel loads.
No single tool solves the wildfire challenge. Mechanical treatment, prescribed grazing, and prescribed fire each play an important role in creating healthier, more fire-resilient landscapes.
These proactive projects represent a balanced approach between wildfire safety, environmental stewardship, and community protection. By reducing hazardous fuels before a fire starts, we can improve firefighter safety, strengthen defensible space, protect critical infrastructure, and reduce the intensity and spread of future wildfires.
The Ventura County Fire Department continues to seek collaborative fuels management and wildfire resilience projects throughout the county to help create safer, more fire-adapted communities.
Together, we're building a more resilient Ventura County.
