National Night Out - Another Successful Year!

Marysville City Council, City Manager, and Police and Fire Departments visited six National Night Out block parties this year providing an opportunity to build community partnerships, and remind everyone that public safety is a team, city-neighborhood effort. In addition, Sparky, the fire dog, visited with children and both firefighters and police officers shared public safety messages with neighbors. It was a great opportunity for cross-department collaboration and meeting the community.

Strike Team Deployment
Fire season continues to escalate with multiple large fires burning across California. Marysville is providing support for fire suppression efforts and is currently on the Mendocino Complex near Ukiah CA. Crews are approaching their 14 day commitment and will be returning home soon. This allows for crews to reset and equipment to be regularly maintained. Marysville will likely receive more calls for assistance before the 'fire season' is over.

Firehouse Rehabilitation
Demolition is under way once again at the fire station. Crews are removing plumbing and construction materials from the building in order to prepare for new construction. Demolition should be complete within the next few weeks and then reconstruction can begin.

Fire Prevention
The recruitment for the Fire Inspector position has closed. In reviewing the applications, the Fire Department will look for applicants with diverse skills and background to fill this critical prevention-oriented position while assisting the Department to meet its increasing emergency service demands.
Concurrently, the MFD is addressing weed abatement complaints, as well as proactively contacting property owners to abate weeds of their vacant lots. These sites constitute a serious fire hazard and abatement goes a long way to reducing the potential for a devastating fire that can reduce multiple buildings to ash in a matter of minutes.
Please notify MFD should you observe any vacant lots with tall grass or weeds.
