Fantastic day at our @ContraCostaFire annual open house. Over 1500 attended to find out more about how we serve. Huge thanks to all our amazing members who made this such a great day with tours, live demonstrations, and a pancake breakfast!

Crews continue work to full contain and extinguish this fire. A fuel break created weeks ago made a huge difference in early containment! Weed Abatement and Defensible Space help firefighters when they need it most to protect our communities.

[CAL FIRE SCU @calfireSCU]

Earlier today, crews returned to the #SomersvilleFire site to ensure the fire remains fully extinguished. Thanks to the swift work by @ContraCostaFire & CAL FIRE this past Wednesday, no homes were lost.

Today at 1:27 pm, Con Fire crews responded to a house fire in the 200 block of Longview Court in Antioch. The fire appeared to start outside the home but quickly spread to the attic.

This specialized apparatus is purposely assigned to this station for this very reason. This vehicle is used when access is difficult or impossible for our normal 4-wheel drive vehicles in areas such as Mt. Diablo.
