The Holy Jim Volunteer Fire Department (HJVFD) is a group of firefighters in a remote Orange County, California canyon in the Cleveland National Forest.
The chief of the department is elected to the position by members of the community and department. The members of the fire department are certified and trained in BLS medical aids and fighting wildfires.
The department performs two to three rescues of lost hikers a year and maintains its own stationhouse, one fire engine, three 5,000 gallon water tanks, a mile of water lines in the canyon and maintains its own weather station gauge at the stationhouse.[1] The department also maintains the road leading into the canyon and works to repair potholes and other damage to the unimproved dirt road.[2]
Orange Coast Magazine also featured a four page article on the firefighters in October 2008 [1]
Notes
The station house now has only one fire engine. The other engine, Gertrude, was donated to a museum.
