Fire Chief’s Message on
Pioneer Day
Welcome to the 62nd
Annual Pioneer Day. The Placer Hills Firefighters Association with the
assistance of the community sponsors this event. It is our attempt to
thank the public for all the support and provide all of us with a nice
day together.
Every year brings
change to the fire department. We now staff both our Meadow Vista and
Weimar stations 24 hours a day with a combination of full-time,
part-time and volunteer employees who I believe are the best in the
County. We always have at least one paramedic on duty and about 70%of
the time we have one at both staffed stations. We always need more
volunteers and any interested persons should contact our main station in
Meadow Vista. We need volunteers for all 3 stations, Meadow Vista,
Applegate and Weimar.
The Department is
involved in a number of programs to assist our public. We can arrange
property inspections for fire safety, and brush clearing for the elderly
and/or disabled. We can assist anyone with smoke detector problems and
we offer code compliant home address signs through a grant from Placer
County. For help with any of the above programs, call our station in
Meadow Vista (530-878-0405).
We are proud and
honored to be able to help protect this wonderful community. Please call
us if we can provide any services or help.
Ian Gow,
Fire Chief
