Girls ages 15–17 — this one’s for YOU!

Camp Cinder, CAL FIRE’s free, action-packed four-day firefighter camp, is back for next year in Redding and San Luis Obispo! Led by experienced women firefighters, this four-day experience is packed with adrenaline and empowerment—from scaling ropes, practicing water rescues, laying hose, building leadership as a team, and learning real-world fire service skills.

If you’re looking for confidence, courage, and community — this camp delivers it all.

Applications are open from December 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026. The application can be found at: https://www.fire.ca.gov/camp-cinder

Welcome our new Chief!

Tonight, Etna gains a new Fire Chief and it’s someone who has been serving our communities since he was 17 years old!

Jake Deegan started his fire career as a volunteer explorer in Gazelle, stepped into Montague Fire on December 8, 2015 at just 18, and never slowed down. After a year and a half as a sleeper, he officially became a Montague Fire member in the summer of 2016, worked for the Oregon Department of Forestry, then worked for USFS before graduating the fire academy in 2017, rose to Captain in 2018, and continued to lead with dedication and heart while also working for CAL FIRE. Jake joined Grenada Fire in 2024 prior to his relocation to Etna, California.

In May 2025, Jake brought that same commitment to Etna Fire, stepping in as Captain… and tonight, he earns the title of Fire Chief.

Please help me congratulate Chief Deegan, a true example of what hard work, service, and community pride look like in Siskiyou County. 👨‍🚒🔥

Here’s to the next chapter, Chief!
