Crowley Fish Foundation Hosts Fishing Trip for Local Youth on Crowley Lake On May 9, 2026, the Crowley Fish Foundation (“CFF”) chalked up yet another successful kids fishing event. This time though the Foundation wasn’t the only organization supporting the youth. The sunny morning on the blue waters on Crowley Lake was an all-community event supported in part by a grant from the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation, which provided CFF with financial support for the rental of pontoon boats. Eleven Mammoth-area kids spent half a day on the waters of Crowley Lake under the supervision and instruction of eight CFF adult volunteers. The future anglers ranged in ages from seven to eighteen.

A Historic Moment: Two New Fire Engines to Protect the Swall Meadows Community and the Eastern Sierra Swall Meadows will be safer thanks to two new fire engines that will replace two older engines in the Wheeler Crest Fire Protection District (FPD) fleet. The new engines – one optimized for structure fires (the “first out” or primary response engine) and the other for brush/wildfires - offer expanded capabilities and greatly enhanced reliability compared to the outdated engines they are replacing. Both feature all-wheel drive, numerous upgraded features, and increased capabilities (road handling, water availability, etc.) for local response. Combined with another engine and a water tender already in the fleet, these engines will allow the Department to respond even more effectively to fires, floods, or any other emergencies in the community and throughout the state. Thanks to these two new engines, two reliable fire apparatus will remain available in the Swall Meadows community when ...
