Even with the catch that the state might ask for more money beyond what is contracted, the Morgan Hill City Council approved July 25 a five-year agreement with Calfire to provide the city’s fire and emergency medical services.

CalFire is urging caution over the coming holiday weekend due to dry conditions throughout the state. The agency released the following statement:

The annual return of Calfire air attack planes at the Hollister Municipal Airport signals an earlier-than-normal start to the wildfire season, to which newly appointed Battalion Chief Josh Nettles and his crew are ready to respond at a moment’s notice.

Calfire was the only fire and emergency medical services provider that responded to the city’s request for proposals that could reduce the existing costs for those services.
