Our Mission
To 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 Profile
 We are a completely volunteer organization funded solely by generous donations from members of the community we serve. Our response area covers more than 150 square miles within the Huntington Lake basin stretching from Tamarack Ridge to the southwest, Kaiser Ridge to the east and west to Mushroom Rock Road. We also provide automatic aid to the US Forest Service, Cal Fire, Big Creek and Shaver Lake. We are dispatched to incidents by the CAL FIRE's dispatch center in Fresno and the USFS Sierra dispatch center when calls are made through the 911 system. 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 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.
