Be extra careful and vigilant with all this wind! Picture quality is poor but you can see a Fir limb blew down and hung up on the high voltage lines! Lucky no fires were started and PG&E has been notified and responded very quickly to mitigate the hazard! If you ever see a power line hazard, downed power line or smell gas call 1-800-743-5000

June 15th burn ban will be in effect.

Very excited for our close neighbors in Leggett on their new rescue! This piece of apparatus will replace their older rescue wich had a catastrophic engine failure! Congratulations Leggett Valley Fire Department! Much needed upgrade and you all deserve it! Keep up the good work!

Debris fire today in piercy!

Piercy Fire would like to thank Redway Fire and Chief Brian Anderson in our acquisition of their old attack which will now serve Piercy as our rescue vehicle!

Over the past three years, we have experienced several devastating fires in our county. Lives have been lost, hundreds of houses have been destroyed and our fir...efighters have been pushed to their limits. On every occasion, without fail, our local volunteer and paid firefighters have stepped up to whatever is thrown at them and they have performed in ways that have certainly earned them the title of local heroes. During this time, their budgets have been depleted because of the increase in activity. Our county has responded by attending their bbq’s, pancake breakfasts and raffle fundraisers. It’s time we help them get some additional funds to help with basic costs. The sample ballots have been mailed out and voters can read for themselves about Measures D and E. These measures bring equity to our Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) by having our visitors who use our local campgrounds to pay the same TOT costs as the visitors who stay in our hotels and motels. These visitors often rely on our first responders for their emergency needs, yet the visitors who are staying in our local campgrounds have been exempted from these costs. These ballot measures merely bring equity for all of our visitors who come to our county during their travels. Fair is fair, and Measures D and E bring equity and fairness to our visitors and at the same time, will greatly benefit our local fire departments. Measures D and E allow the firefighters to get 100% of the funds collected and I think this is very fair. The tax measure was placed on the ballot by the Board of Supervisors and was carefully written so that ALL funds collected will benefit the 21 local fire departments which we all depend on. The tax is estimated to bring in approximately $1,000,000 a year which would guarantees that every Fire Department will receive at least $37,000 and approximately $250,000 will be used according to how the local fire chiefs decide. This money can be used for training, additional equipment and to replace the supplies which have been depleted over the past several years. Remember, 100% of these funds be dispersed to our local fire departments and can not be diverted to any other agency. Please join me in VOTING YES ON MEASURES D AND E in the upcoming election. We depend on our fire firefighters and now they depend on us. Tom Allman Retired Sheriff, Mendocino County Willits

Please read! and support measure D and measure E! it is absolutely is imperative to our survival!
