History of the Huntington Lake Fire Department
History of HLVFD
The HLVFD responds to fire and medical emergencies as well as other "unique" emergencies within our response area as well as providing assistance to citizens as needed. We also provide automatic aid to the town of Big Creek and mutual aid to the US Forest Service, Cal Fire, Shaver Lake, the Sheriff's Department, and the California Highway Patrol.
Our history begins with The Big Creek Fire Department Era: 1987 - 1993 in which, fire service in the Huntington Lake area began with the construction of the condominiums on the former Fresno State College property near the east end of the Lake.
We continue today adding services, equipment, and training while utilizing our dedicated volunteers to provide education, prevention, and services to our mountain community.
