After dedicating most of her adult life to public safety, Karen found the time to volunteer her skills by assisting PVFD.

Yesterday, our Dispatch crew took Karen out to lunch to commemorate her dedication and congratulate her retirement.

Thank you Karen!

PVFD and this community owe you a debt of gratitude for your service.

🔥 Help Firefighters Help You: Create Your Defensible Space!

When a wildfire approaches, every second counts. By creating Defensible Space, you aren't just protecting your home—you’re providing a safer environment for firefighters to do their jobs effectively. 🛡️👨‍🚒

Follow these essential steps to "harden" your property today:

✅ Clear the Perimeter: Remove dry leaves, pine needles, and flammable debris at least 30–100 feet from your home. This helps keep ground fires from reaching your structure.

✅ Move Combustibles: Shift wood piles, propane tanks, and grills at least 30 feet away from the house. These can act as fuel "bridges" that bring fire right to your doorstep.

✅ Prep Your Gear: Keep a long garden hose connected and ready to go. It can be a vital tool for dousing small embers before they ignite.

✅ Visibility Matters: Ensure your address and driveway are clearly marked with reflective numbers. If firefighters can’t find you quickly in the smoke, they can’t help you.

A little work now gives your home a much better chance later. Let’s work together to keep the Grand Canyon State safe! 🌵✨
