Midvale Fire Protection District

Fire on top of Midvale Hill this afternoon. Reportedly started by someone dragging safety chains. This was at the entrance to Austin and Jenny Bunkers place on the Thousand Springs Ranch. Cambridge and Weiser Fire depts responded for mutual aid along with the RFPA. Our local USFS crews also assisted with a heavy brush engine along with a FS contractor. Just goes to show you how fast a grass fire can move. Even in light fuels, with a good wind to push it. Thanks to everyone the helped out!

Big thanks to Cambridge and Indian Valley FD’s for the assist on a grass fire at the intersection of Farm to Market and Hog Creek Rd yesterday! Thankfully it was slow moving and we were able to get it stopped pretty quick with the help of three Cambridge trucks, our engines 905, 906, and 907 with tankers 904 and 908. We were able to turn around IVFD after getting the fire knocked down but sure glad to know they were on the way if things went bad.

Tonight's meeting went well and we got the chance to meet a group that has the same end goal as local fire departments and they are ready to work alongside us.
