Joyce District 4 called in with District 2, City of Port Angeles, Forest service and DNR to all cooperatively tackle the wildland fire near East Beach Road on Monday. Joyce D4 deployed its wildland engine in its first response to help contain the fire along with Tender operations (not pictured). Quick response and specially trained D4 crew helped put out these fires quickly so they do not become project fires and threaten more homes and property. Utility41 (UTV) was put to early service to support the effort and haul hose and personnel. Interested in wildland firefighting for your community? Come join us at drill to learn more. We meet every Tuesday night at 6 PM.

Joyce Fire Auxiliary is having a bake sale on Saturday, June 6 at Joyce General Store. We appreciate the support the community has given us through the years by making donations at these sales. With the money earned, we have been able to purchase scene lighting, a bunker gear washer and dryer, a winch for the command car, and two fire hose monitors. We also purchased the recently installed electronic reader boards which will be a benefit to the community. We also use the bake sale money to purchase rehab supplies which are the drinks and energy bars volunteers consume when on calls. Please stop by and make a purchase or give us a donation. If you can’t make it to the sale, this post includes our Venmo and PayPal account QR codes so you can make a donation from afar. Thanks again for all your support.
