MVFD also has Fire Agreements with the State of California, the Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the US Forest Service. There are no state run (Cal-Fire) fire protection stations within Plumas County, only US Forest Service, therefore MVFD responds to all vegetation/wildfires within our district. MVFD operates one Type 1 engine, one Type 2 engine, one Type 3 engine, two water tenders, and one rescue/medical vehicle. Our immediate community has a pop. of about 500, with 225 structures. It is surrounded by US Forest Service land of mixed conifer forest, at an elevation of 3,800 feet. Our station is located on Bucks Lake Road, (County Road #411) which is designated as a Federal disaster evacuation route. There is only one small fire hydrant in Meadow Valley, so the need for our water tenders (tankers) is very important.
