#FALLEN LEAF FIRE DEPARTMENT LICENSE#
In addition, they must be at least 18, have a valid driver’s license and train twice a month. Volunteers must live or work at Fallen Leaf a minimum of 30 hours per week. Community support raised the $300,000 needed to cover construction costs. Prior to 2000, the department even lacked a station. Volunteer firefighters have been around Fallen Leaf Lake since the 1940s, but it wasn’t until 1982 that the department became a community service district, Sauer said. Sauer said county officials assured the money would not be cut. At risk was 40 percent of the department’s $115,000 annual budget which is supplied by the county. “If we were busy with calls, it wouldn’t be what it is,” he said.Īlthough small, the department has not been been able to avoid California’s budget crisis. Sauer doesn’t mind that the calls seem rather mild compared to those received in a city. Calls, which average about 30 per year, range from requests for mutual aid on wildland fires, assistance with injured hikers to help pulling swamped boats from the lake. During the winter the station is empty, but checked and heated, as volunteers stay at their residences and keep their pagers on.įallen Leaf’s population swells from about 25 in the winter to 1,000 during the summer.
Sauer mans the department by himself from May through October.
