🚨 Community Fire Safety Update – PVFD 🚨
Despite recent moisture, 2026 has already seen a 600% increase in brush fire callouts compared to this time last year.
So far this year, PVFD has responded to 7 fire-related calls:
6 were slash piles or controlled burns that got out of control
1 was caused by mechanical failure
At this rate, 2026 is shaping up to be a challenging fire season.
We’re asking everyone to do their part to help keep our community safe:
Pay close attention to weather conditions and humidity levels
Be aware of your surroundings before burning
Always have proper fire safety equipment readily available
Even though it’s still spring, fires are spreading quickly, and without significant moisture, this trend is likely to continue.
🔥 Stay safe. Stay aware. Protect your community. 🔥
