HAMMOND RANCH FIRE DEPARTMENT

The Hammond Ranch fire chief is Kyle Lunsford, a California native and resident of Hammond Ranch. His professional firefighting experience began in 2013, when he attended the College of the Siskiyous Fire Academy. He has been with CALFIRE since 2015.  In 2018 he began volunteering with the Hammond Ranch Fire Company and became the HRFC Chief in 2022.

The Fire Company encourages anyone who is willing to come and volunteer to help the department.

Update:    

Hammond Ranch fire has been accepting a few new volunteers lately, which has been a nice change of pace. The rural fire department grant I applied for back in April was awarded to us. The money from this grant will go to the purchase of 10 sets of new structure fire turnouts for our department.

I am always looking for Ranch residents who would like to do some searching for grants or writing them, so please let me know. 

Our FireWise community application has been sent back for a few updates and corrections but, hold tight, we will get it done. 

As always, thanks for your continued support, stay safe and Happy New Year. 

Kyle Lunsford, Chief 4200 

The Hammond Ranch Fire Zone (HRFZ) is our local fire prevention/suppression and emergency medicine first response unit under the authority of the County of Siskiyou Fire Warden and is funded by the taxpayers who live within the fire protection zone.  Their citizen auxiliary (The Hammond Ranch Firefighters Association, 8800 North Old Stage Road, Weed, CA  96094) gratefully accepts donations to supplement their meager budget.  The HRFZ staff consists of para-career firefighters, some of whom live at the station, and citizen volunteers.  They work in cooperation with the Hammond Landowners Association and other local entities.
