After a long fire season, we’re grateful for the support our community continues to show us. We want to give some of that support back by making Halloween extra special for local kids and families.

Thanks to the Dolan Auto Group and their generous candy donation, we can do just that! We truly appreciate their kindness and their help in bringing a little extra Halloween fun to our community.
Thank you for supporting #TMFR and the families we serve!

Update: Working smoke detectors make a life-saving difference. Everyone made it out safely during this morning’s house fire thanks to working smoke detectors.
Take a few minutes to test your smoke detectors and replace batteries if needed.

Today more than 150 vehicles dropped off green waste at our Silver Lake location alone. 👏

Removing dry and dead vegetation, shrubs, tree branches and other wildland fuels is an important part of creating defensible space around your home.
