We were happy to see everyone!#HangtownChristmasParade

We had a blast at the "Hometown Holiday on Main" Annual Tree Lighting event last night in Historic Downtown Placerville! We were happy to share our 1929 GM American La France fire engine with everyone. This 95 year-old fire engine was the first new motorized fire apparatus ever purchased by the City of Placerville. #eldofire #hometownholidayonmain #Placerville

This afternoon at 12:43 p.m., Engine 319, Medic 25, and CAL FIRE Engine 2781 responded to a single-vehicle traffic collision on Mount Aukum Rd near Tiger Eye Rd in Somerset. One patient was treated for serious injuries and transported by Medic 25 to Pioneer Park, where Reach 17 air ambulance continued transport to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. Engine 319 and Pioneer Fire Protection District Engine 338 then extricated an uninjured but trapped dog from the wreckage. The dog was initially unaccounted for and was later located in a tight spot. 🐾 @calfire_aeu @pioneer_fire

Nov 2, 2024 , Placerville, Calif. — We were honored to participate in tonight's Sugar Skull Art Walk Día de los Muertos event in Historic Downtown Placerville. Our ofrenda honored several of our past members who died of cancer. It was our privilege to honor and remember them. It was amazing to see the great turnout for the event. Our Ofrenda was lovingly made through a partnership with El Dorado County Fire Protection District and @ecffirefighters . #eldofire #diadelosmuertos #ofrenda #sugarskullartwalk

🕑 Time for a Life-Saving Check! 🕑 Daylight Saving Time ends tonight! While you’re setting your clocks back, take a few seconds to test your smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms give you early warning in case of a fire, cutting your chances of a fatal outcome by 50%! A simple check can make all the difference. Let’s keep our homes safe this season! 🍂

As you turn your clocks back, don’t forget to check your smoke alarms! Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of death by half in a home fire—but three out of five fatal fires happen where alarms are missing or not working. Take a few minutes this weekend to test your alarms and replace batteries if needed. Your safety starts with sound! 🔥 #FallBack #SafetyForward #WorkingSmokeAlarmsSaveLives #FireSafety

🔥Hear the Beep Where You Sleep!🔥 Did you know that smoke alarms should be installed inside every bedroom and on every floor of your home? As you turn your clocks back, double-check that each alarm is working and has fresh batteries. Over 60% of home fire deaths happen in homes with no working smoke alarms—don’t let yours be one of them! Let's keep our loved ones safe this season! #HearTheBeep #DaylightSaving #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives
