January 1, 2015

Two fire companies. One valley.

The valley had two fire companies, Hegins and Valley View. Merger talks began in May 2014, and on January 1, 2015, they became one company: Hegins Valley Fire-Rescue.

The new company built Station 13 in 2015 and 2016 on the site of the Hegins Fire Company's station, a four-bay truck room on Chestnut Street. Contractors donated part of the work.

Today five units answer from that one station: two engines, a heavy rescue, a squad and the duty officer's vehicle. If you live in the Tri-Valley School District, there's a seat for you.
