The Big Pine Fire Protection District proudly invites our community, neighboring agencies, family, friends, and supporters to join us as we celebrate the addition of our new Type 3 Wildland Fire Engine to our fleet. Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. Big Pine Fire Protection District 181 N. Main Street, Big Pine, CA   The Push-In Ceremony is a time-honored fire service tradition that dates back to the days of horse-drawn fire apparatus.

It enhances our ability to respond to wildland fires, structure fires, medical emergencies, and mutual a...
