Today, Grants Pass Fire Rescue crews responded with Rural Metro Fire - Josephine County and the ODF Southwest Oregon District to a reported grass fire on Ament Road.

Upon arrival, firefighters found approximately one acre of dry grass and blackberry brush burning rapidly. Crews quickly deployed hose lines, stopping the fireโ€™s spread and bringing it under control.

Firefighters remained on scene to extinguish a nearby slash pile and ensure all remaining hot spots were fully extinguished.

Thanks to the coordinated efforts of Grants Pass Fire Rescue, Rural Metro Fire, and ODF, the fire was contained before it could spread further or threaten nearby property.

As conditions continue to dry out, residents are encouraged to use caution with outdoor burning and equipment that could spark a fire. If you see smoke or fire, call 911 immediately.

Today, Grants Pass Fire Rescue crews came to the aid of George after his leash became tangled in a blackberry thicket, leaving him in a bit of a prickly โ€œpaw-sition.โ€

Firefighters were able to safely free George from the brush and reunite him with his owners. George appeared very happy with the outcome โ€” and probably a little less interested in blackberry exploration for the rest of the day.

Today, Grants Pass Fire & Rescue had the honor of hosting Kishor Kumar Bhattarai, Fire Chief of the Kathmandu, Nepal Fire Brigade, for a hands-on training demonstration and tours of our facilities. It was a great opportunity to share knowledge, compare practices, and highlight the tools and techniques we use to serve our community.

Even though our departments are separated by thousands of miles, the fire service remains a close and connected brotherhood and sisterhood. Across cultures and continents, we are united by a common mission - protecting lives, property, and the communities we serve. We are grateful for the chance to build this connection and learn from one another.
