The Volunteers here at Bear Creek Fire look forward to Angel Tree delivery day every year.
Thursday we loaded up our trucks and hit the streets with 20 of our volunteers eager to spread some holiday cheer. We had 14 families in our territory this year and plenty of smiles to greet us.
Big thanks to SVAC for joining us on our mission of gift delivery.

Merry Christmas Bear Creek residents, we’re here if you need anything!

ANNUAL SPARK-FREE REMINDER: Do your part; no sparks – no wildfire starts! Fireworks are banned across all lands on the KPen. The sell or discharge of fireworks are prohibited on the Kenai Peninsula across all lands, including municipal, state, federal and private lands. This is a critical reminder when dry conditions are recorded across the landscape.
The only exception is for public displays controlled and coordinated by a municipality or an approved, licensed organization.
For more prevention-based topics during wildfire season, visit our Ready, Set, Go! program and register your cellphone for emergency notifications at https://info.kpb.us/.

With the increase of sun and little amount of rain leads to an increased chance of wild/ brush fires, this last Thursday our volunteers broke out the wild land fire gear and ran through sequence of deploying hose line and pumping. Of course there was some friendly competition, all of our teams did the route in sub 7 mins!

Remember there is a temporary burn permit suspension for the kenai peninsula. You can check on burn bands at Alaska state environmental conservation linked below:
