SAN DIEGO–The Glen at Scripps Ranch made a $20,000 donation to the Scripps Ranch Fire Safe Council to help provide 10 special fire equipment boxes to be placed strategically around the Scripps Ranch fire district for first responders in the event of wildfires.
Equipment includes emergency vests, traffic cones, signs and flares, among other things.
Rick Aschenbrenner, marketing director for The Glen at Scripps Ranch, presented a check to Kristin Young Rayder, founding member and president of the Scripps Ranch Fire Safe Council, on the 15th anniversary of the Cedar Fire that ripped through Scripps Ranch back in 2003.
Fire response personnel from San Diego’s Fire Station 37, which oversees the Scripps Ranch fire district, were also in attendance for the presentation along with other Scripps Ranch Fire Safe Council members and The Glen at Scripps Ranch staff.
The Glen at Scripps Ranch is a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) under construction for occupancy in 2019.
