It’s that time of the year again to give back to your community. We are teamed up with the Marine Corp Reserves of Nevada County. Our hope and goal is to have hundreds of new, unwrapped toys delivered to any fire station in the county for kids who are less fortunate. Please donate before December 15th and make a difference this Christmas. Remember you can drop off your donations at any of these fire stations: Ophir Hill Fire Station, Higgins Fire Station, Nevada County Consolidated, the Nevada City Fire Station, along with here at Peardale Chicago Park station 57.

This morning Nevada County sent out a strike team to the Kincade Fire in Sonoma County. The team is made up of engines from Peardale Chicago Park, Ophir Hill Fire, Rough and Ready Fire, Nevada City Fire and Nevada County Consolidated Fire.

Peardale Chicago Park Fire sent its type-6 engine, Patrol 57, out to the Briceburg Fire in Mariposa County early this morning. The engine is staffed with two firefighters and one engineer. The Patrol has teamed up with a strike team of type-6 engines from Kern County.

Peardale Chicago Park Fire is a part of the the Nevada County strike team of type-3 engines. The team is assigned to the Red Bank Fire in Tehama County.

We’ve had a lot of people asking us if it is safe to swim at the Yuba. The safest course of action is to stay out of the river. People are currently swimming at the Yuba, but unfortunately people are also drowning.
