Welcome to our Web Site. Here you can find out about us and get current news about what is happening at the Lake year round.
Our MissionTo provide an acceptable level of response in the protection of life and property in our service area. This response is directed to limit the effects of unwanted fires, sudden medical emergencies, or other dangerous conditions caused by the forces of nature.
Company ProfileWe are a completely volunteer organization funded solely by the kind donations from members of the community we serve. Our 150 square mile area of service is the Huntington Lake basin from Tamarack Ridge to Kaiser Ridge and as far west as the dams. We are dispatched to incidents by the California Department of Forestry (CDF) dispatch center in Fresno in response to calls made to 911. We are organized and recorded as a not-for-profit organization both with the Secretary of State in California and with the Internal Revenue Service (501.c.3). We have been recognized by our governing organization as one of the best trained volunteer departments in the State and maintain that level of proficiency with structured training sessions each Saturday morning from June 15 to August 15 and with online training sessions the balance of the year. We are comprised of 16 active volunteers, 7 of whom are firefighters and certified EMT's. All of our personnel are certified as professional First Responders.
