Weather Alert | Santa Ana Winds & Heat Advisories

The National Weather Service has issued Wind and Heat Advisories for Orange and surrounding inland Orange County communities through Saturday, October 17.

Santa Ana conditions are expected to bring strong northeast winds, elevated temperatures, and dry conditions to the area. Wind gusts of 35 to 55 mph are possible, with the strongest winds expected near the foothills.

These conditions may result in falling tree limbs, blowing debris, power outages, and increased fire danger.

Orange City Fire reminds residents to take a few precautions:

• Secure loose outdoor furniture and other items.

• Use extra caution while driving, especially in high-profile vehicles.

• Stay hydrated and limit strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat.

• Check on elderly neighbors and those vulnerable to heat.

• Avoid activities that could create sparks or ignite vegetation.

Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe, Orange!

Fire prevention, school visits, and a whole lot of fun!

It’s always a good time to talk fire safety!

That’s a wrap on Fire Prevention Week! Our crews had a great time visiting Linda Vista, Taft Elementary School, California iInspire Academy, and West Orange Elementary School, sharing important fire safety lessons with our youngest community members.

This year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety,” focused on safe charging habits and lithium-ion battery safety.

Thank you to all the students and staff who welcomed us! We love getting out into our community, and making fire safety education fun is always time well spent!

On October 13, 2026, fire service agencies from across Orange County came together for the 2026 Orange County Fire Service Memorial to honor and remember those who dedicated their lives to serving our communities.

We are proud to stand alongside our fire service family in preserving the traditions of remembrance, respect, and service.

Thank you to the Orange County Fire Authority for capturing this meaningful ceremony.

We will share more highlights from this year’s memorial in the coming days.

We weren’t the only ones excited to get to school this morning!

Our crews joined the Orange Police Department, students, and families from Taft Elementary School and California iInspire Academy to celebrate National Walk to School Day!

Between the high fives, smiling faces, and a special appearance by Sparky the Fire Dog, it was a pretty great morning to be out in our community.

We always enjoy spending time with the next generation of Orange. Thanks for letting us tag along!
