We are pleased to announce that the Brigade is now operational and ready to respond to emergencies in Oak Shores to assist SLO County FD’s response to our rural community. Yesterday we conducted a refresher medical training, reviewed radio protocols and distributed radio pagers so our volunteers can be dispatched to emergency calls. Thank you to our volunteers and donors for helping us transform this vision into reality.

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning (RFW) for large sections of SoCal, including all areas around Lake Nacimiento. A RFW means critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. Residents in wildland interfaces should be prepared to evacuate if a wildfire breaks out.
