BREA : Canyon Areas Again Open for Hiking
- Share via
With the fire season declared over, areas north and west of Brea Canyon, Tonner Canyon and Carbon Canyon have been reopened for hikers and nature lovers.
Brea’s acting fire chief, Bill Simpkins, said those areas had been closed since last May 28 to reduce the danger of fires in that part of the county.
The areas were reopened Monday, Moody said.
He said the reopening was in line with the Orange County Fire Department’s decision to reopen hazardous fire areas that include Carbon and Santa Ana canyons.
Moody said the department is thanking individuals and groups who helped firefighters in various ways over the past seven months.
