Our volunteer fire department works hard to keep Shelter Cove fire safe. This wildland fire was quickly put out by our volunteers before it could grow into a larger threat.
Responding to motor vehicle accidents can be challenging on our mountainous roads especially with winter weather conditions.
We have the equipment to access rugged areas in and around Shelter Cove where victims may need help.
