Fire Lane and Fire Hydrant Violations

Posted on: September 11th, 2018

This is a friendly reminder that California State Law, City of Encinitas Municipal Code and our own Parking Policy prohibit parking in a marked Fire Lane or within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Parking a vehicle in such a manner creates a significant potential safety problem if a fire were to start in a home or common area.

We have engaged Private Security to provide a physical presence in the community, conduct safety patrols during the day and at night. If they encounter a vehicle parked in a Fire Lane or close to a fire hydrant they have been instructed to follow state, local, and our community parking policy and have the vehicle towed. They will contact Western Towing to remove the vehicle. The contact information for Western Towing can be found on the signs at the entry to each part of the community.

Please inform your family members, guests, contractors about the parking rules for these areas.
