Miranda Fire would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who came out to our Independence Day event yesterday.
It was great seeing so many families celebrating and enjoying our Family Fun Zone and Barbecue! Special appreciation is extended to our Auxiliary team for their invaluable assistance. We also acknowledge the valuable presence of our mutual aid departments, Myers Flat Fire and Phillipsville Fire, whose attendance contributed significantly to the event's safety and festivities. Adequate modern fire service requires immense resources, and dedication in rural areas such as ours. The success of this event highlights the crucial role community support plays in enabling our departments to maintain adequate fire services and ensure community safety. Thank you all! ❤️

Public Service Announcement from Miranda Volunteer Fire Department:

Attention residents and visitors of Miranda,

As we approach the 4th of July holiday. We would like to remind you to use good judgement and caution when using California Legal Safe and Sane fireworks. Our neighbors in Mendocino County and many Counties in California have banned all fireworks due to high fire weather danger.

Please note that only Safe and Sane fireworks are legal in the State of California. We ask that all visitors respect our community by using good judgment and calling 911 in the event of a fire or other emergencies.

While enjoying our beautiful area, remember that in the event of a fire, it is imperative to stay away from the affected area, evacuate if you see flames or feel threatened and allow firefighters to perform their duties safely and efficiently. Please do not drink and drive! Find a sober friend or have a designated sober driver. Please be aware of potential hazards and emergency vehicles on Highway 254 while driving. Including driving through Miranda where there will be many citizens close to the highway, crossing potentially and celebrating the 4th of July.

Let’s work together to ensure a safe and enjoyable 4th of July for everyone!

Stay safe and have a wonderful 250th Independence Day!
