Last Wednesday evening, we had the privilege of celebrating an important milestone within our department. Three of our Lieutenants—one of whom was unable to attend—were officially sworn in as Captains.
This recognition reflects their dedication, leadership, and commitment to service. It was especially meaningful to have their families present for the occasion, as they were given the honor of placing the Captain pins on their loved ones.
Please join us in congratulating our newly promoted Captains on this well-earned achievement. We are proud of their accomplishments and look forward to their continued leadership within our organization.

Wildfires aren’t just a summer concern—they can happen in winter too. Cold temperatures do not eliminate fire risk, especially during dry periods with wind and dormant vegetation.
🚨 Why Winter Wildfires Happen:
• Dry grass, leaves, and brush can still ignite—even under snow free conditions
• Windy winter days can quickly spread fires
• Outdoor activities such as debris burning, equipment use, or warming fires can create ignition sources
✅ How to Reduce Winter Wildfire Risk:
• Use caution with any outdoor burning and check current restrictions
• Never leave fires unattended—fully extinguish all ashes
• Avoid parking vehicles or equipment on dry grass
• Secure trailer chains and use spark arrestors where required
Even during cooler months, fire behavior can be unpredictable, and winter fires can spread rapidly when conditions are right.
Wildfire awareness is a year round responsibility. Stay alert, use caution, and help keep our community safe.

After a wildfire, recovery doesn’t end when the flames are out. Taking the right steps after a fire helps protect safety, restore the land, and reduce future wildfire risk.
✅ Key Post Fire Recovery Activities:
🚧 Safety First
• Be cautious around burned areas—trees, power lines, and structures may be unstable
• Watch for hot spots or smoldering debris and report concerns immediately
🧹 Debris & Cleanup
• Remove burned debris, fallen branches, and ash carefully
• Avoid disturbing soil more than necessary to prevent erosion
🌿 Prevent Erosion & Flooding
• Fire damaged land can increase the risk of mudslides and flooding
• Use approved erosion control measures such as mulch, straw, or barriers
🌲 Vegetation Management
• Remove damaged or hazardous trees
• Replant with fire resilient vegetation when appropriate
• Reduce ladder fuels and excess brush to lower future fire risk
🏡 Rebuild with Fire Safety in Mind
• Maintain defensible space around rebuilt or repaired structures
• Use fire resistant materials whenever possible
Recovery is a process that takes time, care, and community cooperation. Thoughtful post fire actions help create safer, healthier landscapes and stronger communities moving forward.
If you have questions or need guidance, reach out to local resources or your fire department.
Stay safe and resilient.

A Red Flag Warning is issued when weather conditions create a high risk for fast spreading wildfires. It doesn’t mean a fire is happening—it means conditions are dangerously favorable for one to start and grow quickly.
🚨 Red Flag conditions often include:
• Strong winds
• Low humidity
• Dry vegetation and fuels
• Warm or hot temperatures
When these factors come together, even a small spark—from equipment, debris burning, fireworks, or vehicles—can ignite a wildfire that spreads rapidly and becomes difficult to control.
✅ What You Should Do During a Red Flag Warning:
• Avoid outdoor burning and target shooting
• Postpone activities that could create sparks
• Secure trailer chains and avoid parking vehicles on dry grass
• Stay alert and report smoke or fire immediately
• Follow all local fire restrictions and guidance
Red Flag Warnings are issued to protect lives, property, and our community. Extra caution during these times can help prevent wildfires before they start.
Stay informed. Stay vigilant.

This past week, our Emergency Manager, Captain Barton, along with our Station 91 A2 crew, had the opportunity to visit a local middle school and participate in a 7th grade Careers class.
During the visit, students learned what it means to be a firefighter and what the job looks like on a daily basis. They got a hands-on experience with the tools and gear we use every day to help keep both our firefighters and our community safe. Students were especially excited to hold some of the equipment and feel just how heavy it can be!
In addition to the hands-on learning, the crew shared a presentation that gave students a look inside the fire station, as well as the wide variety of duties and roles within the fire service.
We appreciate the opportunity to connect with our community and inspire the next generation!
