🚒 Higgins Fire Answers the Call
Late Monday night, Higgins Fire answered the call for assistance on the Gann Fire, deploying as part of Strike Team 4103C out of Nevada County, alongside crews from Grass Valley Fire, Penn Valley Fire, Peardale-Chicago Park Fire, and North San Juan Fire.
Our crews departed late Monday night and arrived in the early hours of Tuesday morning. After a short turnaround, they were immediately put to work helping strengthen and improve fireline around the incident.
This is what mutual aid is all about—when our neighbors need help, we answer the call. Our crews are proud to stand alongside firefighters from across the region, working together to protect communities and keep the fire from spreading.
After several days of hard work on the incident, our crews are on their way home today. We’re proud of their dedication, professionalism, and willingness to leave their families and beds in the middle of the night to help those in need.
We’d also like to thank all of the agencies that make these mutual-aid responses possible. It takes a team, and Strike Team 4103C is a great example of firefighters coming together to get the job done.
Safe travels home, crew! 👏🚒
