Mt. Shasta Vista Volunteer Fire Company serves an
area known as Juniper Flat. The area is at
high risk of catastrophic wildfire. There
are many things we can all do to prevent, prepare for and survive wildfire.
 Contact
Chief Mary Cameron and tell her you wish to volunteer
to be a firefighter with Mt. Shasta Vista Volunteer Fire Company (MSVVFC).
There are many
opportunities to serve your community by helping out at the fire company, even
if you cannot be a firefighter. We have volunteers who maintain the trucks,
maintain the fire house, assist with publicity including this web site, cooking
at fundraisers and
more. Contact Chief Mary Cameron for information
about what you can do to help.
Volunteer
to help MSVVFC Auxiliary. The Auxiliary is
our firefighters' best friend, supporting the fire company through fund-raising
activities. The Auxiliary now accepts your tax-deductible donations on behalf of
Mt. Shasta Vista Volunteer Fire Company.

CalFire, United States Forest Service and others to improve community fire
safety. Contact George Jennings at 530-468-2888 or
