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.

The Forest Closure for the Hawk Fire is still in effect, and includes the area of the #BullFire, where firefighters are currently working. There have been multiple reports of people in the closure area over the last few days; this puts the public and firefighters at risk. Please stay out of the closure area.
Crews on the #BullFire made great progress in securing the perimeter. Based on weather conditions and fire containment progress, ‘Get Set’ evacuations in Verdi and Somersett have been reduced. Refer to emergencywashoe.com for updates.
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.
