Quint 76, Engine 75, Engine 72 (El Cerrito Fire), Crew 12 (Contra Costa Fire) and personnel from the city of Hercules removed a eucalyptus tree that fell over Refugio Valley Road, blocking all lanes during the heavy rainfall today. The tree was quickly cut up and removed while Hercules PD assisted with traffic…

Firefighters rescued a family stranded in their truck off Highway 4 at the carbon plant after the water level rose to about 4 feet. Quint 76 and its 100-foot aerial ladder arrived to remove the passengers off the truck and back to safety with help from Engine 75 and Engine 73 (Pinole FD).

We would like to thank Director Damon Covington for his dedicated service to our fire district, having served his four year term that expired in December 2022.
