We should be able to track Wrightwood's inspections at this site, as things begin:
https://lus.sbcounty.gov/fire-hazard-abatement-home/fha-maps/

I'm all for fire abatement, but I'm not a fan of the process.

Looks like we're going to get "the notice" -- not mailed yet.

If we miss the notice, we're in trouble.

Notices in the past have all been more than a little bit ambiguous. 

If you get the inspector, they don't clarify much.

The notice says "if you fix it on time, don't worry, no need to contact us" and if you don't, they'll take care of it for you (with fines and fees).
