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.

High Fire Danger

Engine 37

Engine 37 is a type 1 fire engine that was purchased in 1990 at an approximate cost of $295,000. This unit carries 750 gallons of water. The on-board pump is rated at 1,500 gallons per minute. Engine 37 was the LMFD's first top mounted pump controls. This design allowed for the relocation of hose that could be deployed across the mid point of the body. This has also been termed as a "crosslay" and was a significant change from pulling this size hose from the rear hose bed. The LMFD consistently evaluates its apparatus to ensure that our firefighters are safe and the unit can meet the service demands of the LMFD for a minimum of 15 years of front line service.
