High Fire Danger

High When the fire danger is "high", fires can start easily from most causes and small fuels (such as grasses and needles) will ignite readily. Unattended campfires and brush fires are likely to escape. Fires will spread easily, with some areas of high-intensity burning on slopes or concentrated fuels. Fires can become serious and difficult to control unless they are put out while they are still small. Mowing or edging generally be done in the morning. Mowing, edging, or clearing dead vegetation should be limited to the morning hours. Having a nearby source of water may be helpful.

Engine 33

Engine 33 is a type 1 fire engine that was purchased in 2010 at an approximate cost of $460,000. It is was purchased together with Engine 32 and carries 750 gallons of water. The on-board pump is rated at 1,250 gallons per minute. The unit was purchased during times of fiscal challenges culminated by the recession of 2007-2010. The unit highlights a more cost effective design. The LMFD was evaluating the rural application, the use and durability of a commercial cab verses a traditional built cab, a motor redesign to comply with new emissions laws, and a pump configuration that was more compact and easier to maintain. These two units mark the first time that a fire engine used all roll up door style compartment doors.
