The fire that REMEMBERING THE destroyed 391 homes FIRESTORM and threatened 20 more than 1,000 ry th A n niv e r s a others at the time was believed to be the work of an arsonist, but the perpetrator were never found. Investigators collected evidence statements, received 480 arson leads and ruled out non-human causes, but investigators were never able to determine who started the fire. “That’s the frustrating part of our business; often the fire destroys evidence,” said Scott Brown, division chief of the Orange County Fire Authority, which investigated the blaze because it ignited first in county territory. On that fateful day, Brown was a fire captain and one of the first arriving engine companies, No. 222, on the scene in Laguna Canyon. Investigative reports on the Laguna fire of 20-years-ago were purged, according to Brown, as records are required to be kept for only seven years. While the “cold case” arson may never be solved, the impact on human lives that dark day in Laguna history Senior Moments Columnist Felicia Wiseman has the keys to good health.

Flying Poles Force Brief Evacuation Tennis Courts Set for Repairs Southern California Edison’s “routine” replacement of two utility poles in Bluebird Canyon was anything but routine for the residents of 50 nearby homes. They received mandatory evacuation orders prior to Wednesday’s extraction by helicopter of two utility poles located behind properties on Wykoff Way. Despite the mandatory evacuation notice, Bluebird Canyon Drive resident Lori Solomon said she was caught off guard because she assumed that Wednesday morning’s intermittently gusty winds might keep the copter grounded. So when a STAGE, page 16 COASTAL REAL ESTATE GUIDE A bit of Tuscany in Shady Canyon By Rita Robinson | LB Indy By Jennifer Erickson | LB Indy No Square Theater’s annual production of “Lagunatics” was officially postponed until 2014 and Laguna Playhouse will make substitutions in their season line-up, the two theaters announced separately this week. worker knocked on her door to give her a 15-minute warning at around 10:30 a.m., she had to scramble to get out the door in time. Solomon received written notice a couple of weeks before and SCE representatives went door to door last week to make sure residents understood they would need to temporarily evacuate their homes between 9 and 11 a.m. Laguna Beach Public Works Director Steve May said the evacuation protocol stemmed from Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. FAA rules prohibit aircraft After years of tension between the school district and the city over responsibility for the deteriorating tennis courts at the high school, the courts are finally set to be competitive again. With a joint-use agreement approved by the City Council last month, school board members voted this past Tuesday, Oct. 8, to spend $69,000 to hire Irvine’s LPA, Inc., architectural and engineering firm, to firm up a $620,000 repair plan expected to be completed by next August.

The Newport Beach Fire Department hosted the Fifth Annual Disaster Preparedness Expo on Saturday at the Newport Beach Central Library. Attendance was a little lower than usual, said NBFD life safety specialist Matt Brisbois, but he was still pleased COURTS, page 16 with the turnout. There were a lot of locals there with specific questions and concerns, he added. “It was nice to have all that information right there, ready to be provided to them,” he said.

These operations began in August and continue through the end of September. Extra officers are on duty patrolling areas frequented by motorcyclists and where motorcycle crashes occur. Officers are looking for violations made by drivers and riders alike that can lead to motorcycle crashes, including being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, making illegal turns, or any other dangerous violation. Motorcycle fatalities saw a drop of 37 percent from 2008 to 2010, but fatalities rose nearly 18 percent in 2011. Operations like this are aimed at curbing rises in motorcycle deaths and sending the numbers back down. In 2012, Newport Beach saw 37 motorcycle-involved collisions, which resulted in 39 injuries and no fatalities. So far in 2013, Newport Beach has seen 31 such collisions, resulting in 30 injuries and one fatality. California collision data reveals that primary causes of motorcycle-involved crashes include speeding, unsafe turning and impairment due to alcohol and other drugs. The NBPD is also reminding all motorists to always be alert and watch out for motorcycles, especially when turning and changing lanes. According to the NBPD, as the economy continues to improve, more drivers are on the road, including novice motorcycle riders who are untrained and unable to handle the power of today’s motorcycles. The NBPD message to all drivers and motorcyclists is to share the road. Riders can obtain training through the California Motorcyclist Safety Program.
