The Riverside County Fire Department – Office of Emergency Service is conducting an Economic Loss Survey to determine the financial impact the Mountain Fire and evacuation order has had, or is having, on Idyllwild businesses.

All information contained in the form is confidential and will only be used for the purpose of determining an estimate of the economic impact the fire and evacuation order has had on the Idyllwild and surrounding communities.
