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.

High Fire Danger

Engine 34

Fire Engine 34 was purchased in 2007 for approximately $450,000. Engine 34 was purchased to be the first our fire engine at newly opened fire station 34 in 2008. Engine 34 carries 750 gallons of water and meets the standards for a type 1 fire engine per California FireScope, NFPA, and the Insurance Services Office standards. Engine 34 was built to have a tighter wheel base to help it maneuver through the neighborhoods being built in the Mossdale area of Lathrop. The neighborhoods have narrow roads and limited access into and out of neighborhoods. The tighter wheelbase has seen many benefits and the LMFD has carried this design forward in some of its newer apparatus.
