Under Stage 1 restrictions, campfires are only allowed in developed campgrounds and picnic areas with permanent fire rings, as well as approved fire pits, fireplaces, and grills at private residences.
Dispersed campfires, burn barrels, and other activities that pose an increased wildfire risk are *NOT ALLOWED.*

As we head into the summer fire season, we ask all residents and visitors to use extra caution and help prevent human caused wildfires. One spark is all it takes.

Our most recent training brought a little competition out of our firefighters. We are calling it the Engineering Olympics! Three timed events designed to put real time pressure to perform a task that an actual incident will demand of our firefighters.
1. Aerial ladder deployment, roof operations, and searching the building.
2. Moving large amounts of water between portable tanks using drafting procedures. This tactic is deployed in non hydrant areas where we bring the water to the fire.
3. Connecting to a hydrant and deploying a master stream, a tactic used to put a quick knockdown on a fully involved structure fire when you have a reliable water source.
Congratulations to Captain Starr, Engineer Spiewak, Firefighter Cravens (Engineer in Training), and Firefighter Sfetsas for your great performance on all three events!
