| JULY 23 - 24, 2020 Prescribed Burn On July 23 - 24th, the department conducted a prescribed burn of the community slash pile. Reducing the fuel load around homes throughout the community helps meet our annual Firewise fuel reduction goals and reduces our risk of wildfire. This prescribed burn eliminated about a thousand cubic yards of fuel from our community. I want to thank the community for your support of this program and especially to our department members for their hard work conducting the burn.

December 12, 2020 Annual DMRVFD Chief's Christmas Dinner
(as modified by Covid-19 concerns)
Here are some photos of the December 12, 2020, Chief's Annual Christmas Dinner. Due to Covid-19 concerns, an actual sit
down dinner was replaced by scrumptious dinners being served in individual containers to the public. Inside the firehouse,
firefighters and Support Members prepared the containers of turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, dressing, mashed potatoes,
deserts and more, which were then delivered to folks as they pulled up to the firehouse in vehicles by Ken Gossett and Bert
LaGarde. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event possible and to the people in the DMR who showed up to enjoy
the dinners!
