We held our Fire Fighter Appreciation night last Saturday in honor of past and present Browns Valley firefighters. It was a fun night socializing & enjoying a great steak supper.

Thank you to everyone who donated, attended our fundraiser, and supported us throughout the past year. In a time of tight budgets and a constantly changing world, your support enables us to keep our community safe.

With your support, we have updated essential equipment. This year, we replaced our nearly 30-year-old Jaws of Life, which has already been used, and upgraded to a battery-powered pressure fan.

As we begin 2026, we will once again rely on your support. Upcoming fundraisers are being planned, and we look forward to continuing to serve you.

Our fire department is seeking dedicated community members to join our team. No experience is required; we provide training. If you are interested in serving your community, we encourage you to apply. Please contact City Hall for an application.

We are proud to be part of this community!

When faced with the unexpected, your local first responders are always ready to take action. Our commitment to preparedness means we undergo rigorous training for a variety of scenarios.

Recently, your firefighters, EMS, emergency management personnel, and sheriff’s office came together for specialized Active Shooter and Hostile Response training.

While we hope to never face such situations, we want you to know that we are fully equipped to protect our community.

Thank you to Customized Fire Rescue Training for completing the ASHER training with us & thank you Browns Valley Public School for allowing us to use the school for this training.

Let’s take a moment to express gratitude to these brave men and women for their unwavering dedication to our safety. Together, we can foster a stronger, safer community, but we need your support to make this mission a reality.
