MONROVIA FIRE DEPARTMENT RETURNS FROM A 
19-DAY TRIP FIGHTING THE CARR FIRE! 


Last week, on August 16, 2018, Monrovia Fire Engine 
OES-341 arrived back in town at 1:00 a.m. after a 19-
day deployment fighting the Carr Fire. As you may 
be aware, the Carr Fire (located near Redding) started 
on July 23, 2018, and has burned 229,651 acres. The 
conflagration has destroyed 1,079 residences, 22 
commercial structures, and 503 outbuildings. Also, 
of particular note, 3 firefighters died fighting the Carr 
Fire.

 Monrovia sent a crew which had the unique 
experience of being formed as a Task Force, rather 
than a Strike Team. A Strike Team consists of 
a grouping of similar personnel and apparatus, 
while a Task Force contains a mixture of different 
personnel and equipment. This unusual grouping 
was developed given the straining of resources with 
all of the fires that were burning throughout the State, 
and it provided our team with a unique experience.

 In addition, our team (which was led by Captain 
Morton) returned safe with no injuries or issues 
reported. On their way home from the incident, the 
crew stopped by the State Capitol for a quick visit 
and picture, which is included for your review below. 
Many thanks to our personnel – and to all of the 
firefighters working throughout the State – for their 
amazing efforts to keep us all safe.
