Monrovia Fire & Rescue will host quarterly Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) training at Canyon Park on August 18, 20, and 22, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The training will bring together members of USAR Regional Task Force 4, including fire personnel from Glendale, Pasadena, Monterey Park, Alhambra, San Gabriel, Arcadia, and Monrovia. These drills help firefighters sharpen their technical rescue skills and strengthen regional readiness for complex emergencies.

Canyon Park and surrounding roads will remain open. Visitors should expect to see fire apparatus, equipment, and personnel in the area. Access to a small portion of the trails may be briefly paused as needed during training operations.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as our regional firefighters train to serve our communities safely and effectively.

After 18 days deployed to Oregon as part of an OES Strike Team, four of our firefighters returned home to Monrovia yesterday.

While away, they worked alongside multiple agencies protecting lives, property, and communities during a demanding wildfire assignment.

We’re proud to welcome them home and grateful for the sacrifices made by them and their families throughout the deployment.

🚑👏 Celebrating Excellence in Emergency Care 👏🚑

Congratulations to Firefighter Paramedics Frank Droege and Ryan Scott, Engineer Cody Cubak, and Captain Justin Castaneda for being recognized with the Golden Brain Award from the County of Los Angeles through USC Arcadia Hospital.

This award honors their outstanding efforts in providing timely, coordinated care that helped improve outcomes for a stroke patient. Their dedication, teamwork, and commitment to delivering high-quality emergency medical care reflect the very best of our profession.

The Golden Brain Award is built on the principle of “Improving Outcomes, Together” — a reminder that exceptional patient care is achieved through collaboration between first responders, hospitals, and healthcare partners working toward one goal: giving patients the best possible chance at recovery.

Thank you, Frank, Ryan, Cody, and Justin, for your professionalism, compassion, and service to the community. Your actions made a difference 💙

🌿 Annual Defensible Space Inspections will begin on or after June 15 for all properties located within Monrovia’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.

To help residents prepare, the City of Monrovia has partnered with Athens Services to provide FREE roll-off bins and bulky item pickup for brush disposal through July 31, 2026.

Residents can schedule a bin at monroviaca.gov/BinRequest or scan the QR code.

Reducing vegetation and maintaining defensible space helps protect your home, your neighbors, and our community from wildfire. Please complete all brush clearance work before inspections begin to avoid potential reinspection fees and penalties.
