do overnight, you just can’t change your name,” he said. The Coast News had received several calls over the past few days from concerned residents who believed a change was imminent and possibly happening as early as July 1. Daigle said the July 1 date was set as a deadline for fire officials to settle on a name that it could kickstart conversations with the public and officials from the various cities, but there are still multiple suggestions that are under consideration. Some of the names being considered, Daigle said, are Southern California Fire, San Diego Coastal Fire, and North Shore Fire, among others.
