​
While Tahoe National Forest (TNF) Fire crews have been fighting the Mosquito Fire, TNF Fire Resources across the Forest, have remained ready to respond to new incidents and also have been engaging with our community members of all ages at local events.

Tahoe National Forest Yuba River Ranger District Camptonville Engine 331 and Fire Prevention Patrol 31 set up a Forest Service Booth at the Camptonville Volunteer Fire Department picnic whom they often work with during incidents.

TNF Camptonville Patrol 31 Jessica Prince shares this “feel good Fire story”…
“My 10 year old daughter was performing for her first time in front of people at the CVFD picnic. She was terrified and was wanting to quit. The TNF Camptonville Engine 331 firefighters I work with stepped in and not only practiced with her that morning, but performed with her at the event, uniform and all. It just goes to show we are family. We don’t do it for the money, the work can be challenging, but at the end of the day, there’s a camaraderie here that is unmatched.”

On the East side of the Forest, in a Glenshire Elementary TK class, a TNF Truckee Engine 371 firefighter took her turn to show and tell about being a USFS Wildland Firefighter during their “Community Helper” week. The 4 year old “recruits”, who knew a lot about the Mosquito Fire already, were most intrigued by the Super Soaker-like Bladder Bag nozzle and guessing what was for dinner on the fireline before squishing the Meals Ready-To-Eat (MRE) spaghetti and meatballs packet from her line gear.  

“Whether it’s out on the fireline or within our communities, TNF Firefighters appreciate every opportunity to serve our public, and our public lands…best job in the world,” said TNF Engine 371 Firefighter, Meredith Anello.
