Here's something that might surprise you: five years ago, a new fire engine cost $650,000. Today? About $1.4 million. Personal protective equipment and medical supplies have increased 45% over the past decade. The cost of keeping our firefighters equipped and safe is rising fast and our current funding wasn't built for this reality.

Anyone driving by our Bergen Park campus tonight (6/8) will notice smoky conditions. This is what preparation looks like. Our firefighters are learning how to handle basement fires at our in-house training facility. We train for these dangerous situations so we’re ready when YOU need us most.

Dozens of residents and agency representatives attended an open house at EFR Station 8 in Brook Forest on 6/6 to learn about wildfire risks and solutions. Neighborhood events like this matter because they help protect YOU and your family. Join us 6/13 at Station 6 in Kittredge (9-11 am) for our next wildfire open house.
