Orinda City Council
“Traditionally, streets— neighbors have wanted speed bumps, but MOFD has been very concerned about speed bumps and the issues with fire trucks getting over speed bumps and slowing them down, particularly in the areas that are of the highest severity fire zone. So we talked about other types of measures that could be taken, including striping.”— Cara Hoxie, Councilmember, Orinda City Council

Lafayette City Council
“You limb them up, they're generally pretty safe. It's the stuff right around the building with the gorilla hair mulch, which is kindling, and juniper bushes or the like that just goes up like that. So that's the stuff I'd be more concerned about, all of which falls within the zone zero.”— Jim Cervantes, Council Member, Lafayette City Council
