🚒 Training Beyond the Pavement! 🌲

Your Hollister firefighters were out today at Hollister Hills State Park putting their off-road driving skills to the test! 🚗 💨

San Benito County is home to a lot of rural and rugged terrain, and when an emergency happens, our firefighters need to be ready to navigate it safely and effectively. Today’s training helps our crews build the experience and confidence needed to reach people wherever they may be.

We’re proud to put in the work today so we’re better prepared to serve our community tomorrow. 💪🔥

Welcome Home, Guys! 🚒🔥

Welcome home to our strike team crew! After 16 days deployed to Oregon, our guys are back home and already getting to work—cleaning up the rig and getting it ready for the next call.

🔥 Hollister Fire on the line

Hollister Fire sent Battalion Chief Rossi and Captain Siemann as single resources to assist with the massive grass fire that started in Southeast Oregon. The fire has since spread into Southwest Idaho and continues to push south toward Nevada.

Now approaching 700,000 acres burned, with the potential to reach 1 million acres, this fire is a massive and rapidly evolving incident.

We’re proud to have our members representing Hollister Fire and standing alongside firefighters from across the region to protect communities, property, and the land. 🤝🔥
