Vegetation fire stopped.

At 2 p.m. today, firefighters responded to a vegetation fire at the Prima Deshecha Landfill on Avenida La Pata near San Juan Capistrano.

With support from OC Waste & Recycling personnel spraying water on the fire, firefighters used hose lines and hand tools to stop the fire’s forward progress, holding it to 1.3 acres in less than ten minutes. No injuries were reported, and no structures were damaged.

This week, we continue our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month by highlighting Senior Human Resources Specialist, Valerie Castro!

Valerie is Mexican American and deeply proud of her culture, her roots, and the generations of family who helped pave the way for her.

Her father and grandfather both served in the U.S. Army, and Valerie says she has always been inspired by their bravery, sacrifice, and commitment to serving their country. Her mother moved to the United States from Mexico after marrying Valerie’s father. She didn’t know the language or culture, but worked hard to learn English. Together, Valerie’s parents went on to become entrepreneurs and start several businesses.

“Their work ethic, determination, and willingness to take risks have always inspired me,” Valerie shared.

That same determination has shaped Valerie’s own career journey. After high school, she worked while attending college sporadically and spent 15 years as an Executive Assistant, eventually providing executive-level support to Chief Officers in the private sector and City Managers in the public sector.

While she enjoyed her work, Valerie always had a desire to build a career in Human Resources. In 2023, that opportunity brought her to OCFA as Extra Help in the Benefits Division.

Valerie was also determined to fulfill a lifelong goal of completing her education. With the support of her husband and children, she returned to school to earn her undergraduate degree in Business, followed by a master’s degree in Business from the University of Redlands in December 2024. Go Bulldogs!

“I wanted to be an example to my kids and show them that it is never too late to pursue your goals and that education is something worth investing in,” she shared.

Since joining OCFA, Valerie has continued to grow professionally. She became a full-time HR Specialist in July 2023 and was promoted to Senior HR Specialist in March 2026. All of her roles have been within the Benefits Division.
