On Feb. 24, from 6-8 p.m., Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue will host a special community meeting titled "Meet the Marshal."
Everyone in the community is welcome-whether you're a CERT member or simply curious-this is a great chance to connect, learn and strengthen our local preparedness.
The evening will include an opportunity to meet and chat with Costa Mesa's new Fire Marshal Ryan Bohr and hear from guest speaker Interim Fire Chief Jason Pyle. We'll also share what's ahead for the revamped and revitalized 2026 Costa Mesa CERT program.
Discussion will focus on the refreshed training, stronger connections across the program and more opportunities to learn, reconnect, and serve.
We'll wrap up with practical home-safety and preparedness tips you can use right away-like how to safely shut off utilities, building a simple home plan and practicing EDITH (Exit Drills In The Home) with your household.
We hope to see you there and hope you will be part of the conversation.
