Last night Montezuma Fire was dispatched for a solo vehicle off the road on Ryer Island.
Luckily, there was no injuries and the individual involved just needed a tow up and out of the levee field.
The combination of heavy rain & rapid snow melt could cause flooding below 7,000-8,000 ft. Quick snow melts at low elevations can overwhelm water banks & cause flooding. Be prepared & stay informed! Know that #CALFIRE is responding to emergencies statewide. #EmergencyPreparedness

Hanging holiday lights by nails, staple guns, & metal hooks can pierce the wire protection coating, which can cause an electrical fire. Today’s #12DaysOfFireSafety tip suggests hanging lights using newer plastic fastener systems which are gentler to electrical light strings.
#12DaysOfFireSafety begins today! You’ve selected the perfect tree to decorate. Make sure it has green needles—giving the needles a tug is a good way to determine freshness. Check the water level in the tree stand daily because a dry tree is a dangerous tree.
Planning the day ahead? A system moves through today - Fri AM with a stronger system for the weekend that will bring major mountain travel impacts. Here's a look at one radar forecast through early Friday AM. Check road conditions before you go! https://t.co/if6ShjbdtN #cawx
After the winter storm today - early tomorrow, a strong winter storm will impact #NorCal tomorrow night - Sunday night. This storm will be stronger than last weekend's storm with dangerous mountain travel & periods of moderate to heavy Valley & foothill rain. #CAwx
⚠️Major Winter Storm this Weekend⚠️
Heavy snow is expected over the mountains this weekend. Travel will be difficult to impossible especially Saturday with whiteout conditions. Be sure to plan ahead if you have mountain travel plans. #CAwx
Late last week. Montezuma Fire was dispatched for mutual aid water tender support for a report of a structure fire in support of Dixon Fire Department.
