Message from the Chief
Welcome to our web page. The Beckwourth Fire
District was founded in 1949. After the acquisition
of a used 1937 Chevrolet fire engine, the
first single door, wood heated "Fire
House" was build in downtown Beckwourth.
That portion of the original fire house still
exists with many additions throughout the
decades. With The opening of Station 2 in
2007 the Fire District now consist of an all
risk department responding to not only structure
and wildland fires, but medical aids, train
derailments, and plane crashes.
The founding fathers would be in awe to
now see the amount and size of apparatus
parked in our engine bays. Including, 2
type I and 1 type 2 engines; 2 brush engines;
1-4,000 gallon water tender; 1 rescue squad,
and 1 command vehicle.
The Fire District strives to be a part
of the growth and development of Eastern
Plumas County with a never ending list of
annexations of new developments. "The
Beckwourth Fire District is committed to
the protection of life and property, using
as our model, safety, teamwork, continued
education and training."
Whether you’re a visitor or a resident,
your safety is our concern and we welcome
you. Thank for allowing us to provide our
community's emergency services.
