The recent Round Fire made very apparent the District’s vulnerability to wild fires, especially after four years of drought.  Board Chair, Ann Klinefelter said, “We desperately need new wild land firefighting equipment.

We are applying for a 50/50 matching grant through the Cal Fire Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Program to purchase approximately $20,000 worth of equipment. “ And she added, “To raise our portion of the funds, the PFPD Board is holding the First Annual Fire Engine Red Fundraiser on June 6, 2015.  Our goal is to raise $10,000, while bringing our community together for an evening of fun and good cheer.  We are asking for your help!”
