How to report fires and aquire permission:
Help us help you. Unreported fires make up approximately 10% of our annual call volume. As a result, Chief Garvin asks that everybody calls in to report your fires. This will assist the department in saving money and valuable resources.
Everybody can play a part in community safety. One way to do so would be by reporting legal fires and illegal burns. Burns can be reported to the Fire Chief at 928-205-5327 or an active Clay Springs Pinedale Firefighter. You can find a list of current active firefighters here. In the event that you feel you have spotted a wildfire please do not hesitate to call 9-1-1

If you would like to find information about the active forest fires can be found on the Inciweb site. Check back often to stay up to date on fires within the country.
Additionally, information about fire hazards for our local area may also be found on the Clay Springs Pinedale Fire Department Facebook page.
Chimney CleaniNG and Good Fire Wood MainteNANCE
A Message from Our Pinedale Clay Springs Fire Department
Time to clean those chimneys! Soot from last winter, debris from over the summer, nests, animals, you name it, and it has probably been found in a chimney. Let’s work on getting all of those nasty flammable materials out of the chimney and into the trash where they belong. There are many resources available to assist you if you are incapable of maintaining your chimneys safely. Don’t be afraid to ask neighbors or your local church or a volunteer group for assistance.
Firewood is a necessity of life for many of us in this territory. It is also the cause of several fire calls each year. Many folks like to stack the wood close to the house, or even on the porch close to the home. While this does make it nice when it snows, it also creates a fire hazard all winter long. Oftentimes wood debris can hold sparks or some other heat source, fueling the heat source until the fire trifecta has been completed and flames can finally erupt. Move these fuel sources away from your home. Create a clean barrier between your home and your fuel source to reduce the chances of your home going up if your woodpile ignites. A cheap tarp can keep your firewood dry while it is away from the home.
