Anderson, who represents fire-prone District 2, said it's important that all San Diegans, and especially those in his district, make a wildfire preparedness plan.

"As a long-time resident of Alpine, I have witnessed firsthand how devastating wildfires can be," Anderson said. "Wildfires do not discriminate in their destruction."

Anderson said he thanked his fellow supervisors "for voting to allocate more funding to wildfire preparedness, which is crucial for the safety of our backcountry citizens."
