Save our San Diego Beaches

We wish to appeal to the relevant authorities to reconsider their decision to remove any of our remaining fire rings (or squares) from our beaches and parks. The fire rings are an integral part of beach life and tradition that offer locals and visitors a chance to enjoy one of the quintessential charms of California living.

Seeing the fire rings at night, with happy people gathered around sharing stories and friendship is an inspiring experience; one that no price can be put on. The fire rings are therefore of great value to the community for the enjoyment of our most treasured resource, our beaches.

Removing the remaining fire rings sends the wrong signal to the public regarding the government commitment to maintain a vibrant beach and park system which can also be enjoyed after the sun sets as well.

Promoting our region for tourists also requires that we continue to preserve what for many visitors is a unique experience.
