March 24, 2014 (Spring Valley) - A new, primary Incident Command Vehicle is now in service within the San Miguel Fire District, thanks to an award from Barona and Sycuan Casinos. The $45,000 grant covered 68 % of the total vehicle cost. That cost included Required Code 3 Equipment, VHF & 800mgz Radios and Installation. The total cost of the Command Vehicle was $65,000. The remainder of the cost came from the District’s Vehicle Replacement fund.
This vehicle is available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The District responds to more than 11,000 calls per year. In addition, this vehicle is available for the purpose of providing Auto and Mutual Aid to agencies surrounding the District.
The Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Grant fund helps mitigate the impacts of Indian Casinos.
The San Miguel Fire District and its cooperative partner, CAL FIRE are grateful for having this project selected by the Gaming Grant Committee.
