Poway, CA – The City of Poway has placed sand and bags at four locations, to assist residents who sustained property damage due to the Witch Creek Fire. Sandbags can be used as an erosion control device. The empty bags are located in a trash container near the sand at each site. Remember to bring a shovel to fill the bags with sand. Sand and bags are available at the following sites:

• Valle Verde Park: parking lot. The park is north of Espola Road;
• Lake Poway Road: “overflow” parking lot on the right, approaching the Lake;
• Midland Road: east side, across from the Train Barn at Old Poway Park;
• Garden Road: south side, across from Garden Road Elementary School.
  

The Boy Scouts have volunteered to fill bags when they are able, so if you find bags already made, you are welcome to take them.
