Dear City of Anaheim Team,
On behalf of our community, I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed Deer Canyon project in our
high-risk fire area. We are deeply concerned that those considering this project are overlooking critical
fire safety risks. Our recent evacuation experience underscored the severe limitation of our
infrastructure under emergency conditions. The added congestion from new developments in such a
high-risk area is reckless, with the potential to endanger lives by complicating evacuations.
It is clear to our community that additional hydrants or resources do not address the core issue:
population density in a high fire-risk zone. Emergency preparedness should be paramount in any
development decisions here, yet the current project plans fail to adequately reflect this priority.
We urge city leadership to recognize the substantial risks and choose safety over development in this
instance. We look forward to a thoughtful response that acknowledges our community's concerns.
Sincerely,
Elia Castaneda
