		Before 2003, San Diego County's worst-case fire scenarios were based on the 1970 Laguna fire, which burned about 180,000 acres and killed eight people and was then the largest wildfire in California history.
		In the city of San Diego, which lost neighborhoods to the Cedar fire's flames, old fire engines are gradually being replaced, new maps of fire-prone areas are being created, dispatch policies are being changed to keep more units available during hot, dry periods and the training of new fire commanders is being given renewed emphasis.
		A fragmented command scattered among 65 fire agencies – 35 of them in the unincorporated portions of the county – was pointed out in later critiques as a major weakness during the Cedar fire.
