To keep firefighters working on the #MosquitoFire, an army of personnel are working behind the scenes. Among the many functions is Ground Support, a team that is fundamental to wildfire suppression because they provide mechanical support for all ground vehicles & heavy equipment.

Farm Day at The Nevada County Fairgrounds! We shared age-appropriate info and asked the kids what is important for a go bag.

“We don’t need our iPad, just fresh veggies to stay healthy!”
"Make sure to pack soap!"
