The City of Irvine is partnering with SensoRy AI to detect wildfire ignitions in their earliest stages by deploying a network of ultra-early wildfire-detection and risk assessment sensors throughout the Irvine Open Space Preserve.

The Irvine Animal Care Center is participating in the nationwide Clear the Shelters campaign, sponsored by NBCUniversal and Telemundo, August 1–31, waiving adoption fees for longest-resident pets currently at the center.

Visitors can look for the purple event icon on kennel cards to identify eligible animals. Throughout August, community members are invited to meet animals who have been waiting a little longer for the right match and consider welcoming one into their family.
