Yesterday, your Grass Valley / Nevada City Fire Department firefighters deployed to the Big Sur area to assist with the Plaskett Fire.

Our crews shared this photo showing nighttime fire activity upon their arrival. Even with cooler temperatures and higher humidity, wildfire behavior can remain active and unpredictable.

As we enjoy cooler temperatures this week, it’s an important reminder that fire season isn’t over. Conditions can change quickly, and fires can remain active even when the weather feels more comfortable.

We’re proud to stand alongside our fellow firefighters and help communities in need.

We’re looking forward to the safe return of our crews and are grateful for their continued dedication and service.

🚒 Grass Valley Fire Department Update

For the past 10 days, one of our engines has been deployed as part of an OES Strike Team on the Grasshopper Fire, working in and around the Mount Hood National Forest.

Our four-person crew has been working alongside partner agencies Lodi Fire Department Turlock Fire Department Modesto Fire Department Stockton Firefighters Mokelumne Rural Fire District to help protect homes, structures, and communities in the fire area. They have approximately four more days on assignment before beginning their journey home.

While our crew is away, our stations have remained fully staffed and ready to serve the community. We’re incredibly proud of the dedication and professionalism of our personnel.

We are looking forward to welcoming our crews home safely after their deployment. At the same time, we recognize that our return home is only a small part of a much larger story. The enormity of the tragedy and devastation being experienced by people across Oregon, Washington, and communities throughout the western states is not lost on us.

Our thoughts are with everyone who has been impacted by these fires — those who have lost homes and property, those who have been displaced, and the communities working tirelessly to recover. We wish them strength, a speedy recovery, and a safe return to normalcy.

We are proud to stand alongside our fellow firefighters and emergency responders during this difficult time, and we remain grateful for the opportunity to serve.

Stay safe, stay strong, and come home safe. 🚒❤️🔥

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the Push-In Ceremony for our new Engine 1!

We were honored to share this special milestone with our community as we officially welcomed our newest fire engine into service. The ceremony included the long-standing fire service tradition of giving the engine a ceremonial wash, followed by firefighters and community members working together to “push” the engine into the station—symbolizing its readiness to serve.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our residents, elected officials and neighboring agencies. The partnership and encouragement make it possible for us to continue providing the highest level of service to the Grass Valley community.

Engine 1 is now officially in service!

While our community was sleeping, your City Firefighters were answering the call.

Late last night, Brush 5 was deployed as part of the Nevada County Strike Team to the Gann Fire in Calaveras County to assist with wildfire suppression efforts. The fire is currently estimated at approximately 6,500 acres and 0% contained.
