AFS Engine 01 was first on scene to a vegetation fire today, in the area of Hwy 49 and Smith Rd near Grass Valley. With the help of a few bystanders, our engine crew was able to contain the fire to a 50x50 spot before local fire department resources arrived.

We used this product with incredible success during the 2021 #CaldorFire. With 3 homes in Pollock Pines, and 6 cabins in Christmas Valley, all of our structures survived completely undamaged. Our own testing has shown this product to provide a 90% decrease in flame intensity.

Had to double check the clearance on this one! Our Type 7 has been busy getting into all the places that larger emergency vehicles can't fit, to keep our clients safe. We have resources available 24/7 including saw teams and portable generators. moregoodfire.com/emergency

Our engine crew was committed to a spot fire S of the cabin at the time of its ignition, working with a Type 3 engine crew from Mendocino. By the time we came available, there were sufficient resources at the cabin to handle, so we resumed patrols.
AFS Engine 01 was committed to the #CaldorFire in the #ChristmasValley area of #SouthLakeTahoe during the fire's jump across Hwy 89 on Aug 30. Our crew contained 10 spot fires in the valley overnight, and patrolled roughly 100 homes surrounding those of our several clients.
