The future of the fire service is bright!

This weekend’s Women’s Fire Camp gave young women the opportunity to experience the fire service firsthand through hands-on training, fitness challenges, rescue exercises, and teamwork. https://t.co/fDYt3nFzyB

Community Update: Mountain Lion Safely Tranquilized and Transported

The mountain lion reported in a Santa Monica residential area has been safely tranquilized by a biologist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

California Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement supported the tranquilization and transportation of the animal. The mountain lion will be evaluated and safely relocated in coordination with wildlife experts, including the National Park Service’s Santa Monica Mountains study area team.

We thank the community for its patience, cooperation, and care throughout this response.

A Santa Monica homeowner says she was relaxing in her yard Friday when she spotted what she thought was a house cat -- until she realized it was a mountain lion. She sheltered inside her home for hours as it calmly lounged just feet away. https://t.co/UF1wycjA0x

Dorothea Lange was born on this day in 1895. "Migrant Mother," widely considered one of the most famous photographs of the 20th century, is the most recognizable shot of a series taken by Lange in March 1936 of the same family of "destitute pea pickers" in Nipomo, California. 🧵

Red Flag Warning does not mean a wildfire has started.

It’s a weather alert that tells us conditions are right for a fire to start easily and spread quickly: dry vegetation, low humidity, warm temperatures, and strong winds.

If you live in California, think of it as a “high fire risk day” where even a small spark can turn into a fast-moving wildfire.

Homeowners should prepare by moving anything that can burn inside or away from the home.

On Red Flag Warning days, avoid ALL activities that can create sparks—like mowing dry grass, dragging chains, or using heavy equipment outdoors.

See smoke or fire? Call it in right away.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened to the public for the first time on this day in 1937. About 200,000 people paid 25¢ to walk the bridge, equal to about $5.75 in today's dollars. The next day it opened to cars. This footage is from the Prelinger Archives, acquired by the Library in 2002.

I had the honor of giving another lecture on climate change at Cal Poly this week. I was incredibly impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions, insightful observations, and their understanding of the challenges we face in the future.

On May 19, we will be offering a boat tour of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary from 7:15 to 10:00 AM aboard Patriot Sportfishing at Port San Luis in Avila Beach, California. This boat trip will have members of the SLO Climate Coalition and the Central Coast Aquarium on board. To purchase tickets, please visit: https://t.co/G7A2kckDsZ

Then, on May 21, I will be giving a presentation titled “Mysteries of the Climate” for the Santa Barbara–Goleta Valley branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW).

I would love to see you at one of these events!
