I would like to begin by congratulating several of our Fire Department members on becoming certified Emergency Medical Technicians.

Well done, Tiffany Cross, R.J Cross, Kim Jones, and Drew D'Agnese. Thank you for all the countless hours of working hard for this certification.

Dolores Fire Department personnel have completed a refresher course re-certifying them for wildland firefighting. Several new members have completed the entire course, involving class time and a timed fitness test.We are pleased to announce everyone passed with ease. Our department members are now certified up-to-date and prepared for the coming fire season.

For the month of March, emergency response for Dolores Fire Department are as follows: Fire-related calls, 6; EMS-related calls, 11.

We are gearing up for wildland fire season. We are encouraging all residents to make sure your address numbers are visible from the highway or road. This also applies for any emergency. We can't help you if we can't find you.
