Type an address to see the fire hazard zone CAL FIRE maps it in, then exactly what has to be cleared and how far out from the house. It also lays out the inspection year — notices in March, inspections from 18 May — and what force abatement costs: $940 per parcel, plus $423 if a warrant is needed, charged to the owner.

The page went live before it was actually finished, so visitors saw an error message instead of the breweries. It's down until it can be rebuilt properly — a map of Vista's breweries along Hop Highway 78 is still very much on the list.

The town page now opens with a colored-pencil drawing of the Moonlight Amphitheatre at dusk — its terraced lawn and open-air stage below the dry inland hills.

Live National Weather Service warnings for Vista — Red Flag, heat and storms — plus the SDG&E power-shutoff (PSPS) and county evacuation channels, for a town where nearly half of buildings sit in high wildfire-risk areas.

The recurring arts and events that come around each year — the Moonlight Amphitheatre season, the Strawberry Festival, the Saturday farmers market and the December tree lighting — in one place, in the order they arrive, with a link to each organizer for exact dates and tickets.

Vista now has a town page, starting with the year in local arts and events in one place, and live fire-weather, heat and power-shutoff warnings for the town.
