Holy Jim Volunteer Fire Department

The Holy Jim Volunteer Fire Department (HJVFD) is a group of firefighters in a remote Orange County, California canyon in the Cleveland National Forest. The chief of the department is elected to the position by members of the community and department. The members of the fire department are certified and trained in basic life support and fighting wildfires. Orange Coast Magazine featured a four-page article on the firefighters in October 2008. The station house now has only one fire engine. The other engine, Gertrude, was donated to a museum.
