LOS ANGELES – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF) is committed to ensuring public safety by working directly with
federal firearms licensees (FFL) and federal explosives licensees and
permittees (FEL/FEP) to safeguard their businesses during the wildfires blazing
throughout Southern California.
There are 41 FELs and 173 FFLs in San Diego County. The wildfires threatening portions of the
county are forcing evacuations. If the wildfire is imminent, ATF is
recommending FELs and FFLs move their records to a safe place. Explosives
inventory should be relocated to a compliant storage magazine in an alternate
location if an FEL is in the path of a fire.
If an FFL or FEL moves it records or inventory, they should
contact the local ATF office at 858-966-1030 and provide the temporary storage
location. Additionally, if any of the explosives, firearms or ammunition are
missing, lost or stolen notify ATF at 888-283-2662.
For more information on preparedness for FELs and FFLs
during natural disasters:
Explosives licensees and permittees should refer to ATF
Publication 5400.16
Firearms licensees should refer to ATF Publication 3317.7
