High Fire Danger

High When the fire danger is "high", fires can start easily from most causes and small fuels (such as grasses and needles) will ignite readily. Unattended campfires and brush fires are likely to escape. Fires will spread easily, with some areas of high-intensity burning on slopes or concentrated fuels. Fires can become serious and difficult to control unless they are put out while they are still small. Mowing or edging generally be done in the morning. Mowing, edging, or clearing dead vegetation should be limited to the morning hours. Having a nearby source of water may be helpful.

Dive Rescue & Recovery

The LMFD Dive Rescue & Recovery Program was initiated to mitigate waterway emergencies. The San Joaquin County Delta estuary provides valuable recreation in and around it's waterways. With the population boom in the southern portions of San Joaquin County, these waterways have seen increased use. The water creates an additional hazard that has seen an increase in calls for emergency response. The LMFD maintains a minimum team roster of 9 public safety divers.

The LMFD operates the only Dive Recovery available in San Joaquin County as an emergency 1st responder. We have found that the recovery of a loved one provides compassion and closure in a difficult time. With over 30 linear miles of waterway, lake shore living at both the River Islands and Oakwood Shores Developments, the team has been a valuable asset to our communities served.
