At about 6 p.m. on Saturday, a call went out to the Orland Fire Department regarding a fire in the bed of Stony Creek.

Initially, the fire’s location was given as being near Highway 99 and County Road 9. In reality, it was on the south side of Stony Creek, directly north of the continuation school on Roosevelt Avenue.

Multiple reports of a large plume of black smoke were received. Calls for mutual aid went out to the fire departments of Capay, Hamilton City, Artois, Willows, and Cal Fire.

At about 8:10 p.m., the fire dispatcher in Corning received a report that the fire had covered about 10 acres and had a slow rate of spread. Firefighters were making progress with dozers and personnel.

In a video posted online, Assistant Orland Fire Chief John McDermott said he expected firefighters to remain on scene for about five more hours, which would be about midnight or so. At about 11:15 p.m., dispatch was told that the fire was about to be contained and that the fire departments called to render mutual aid would soon be released.

In the video, Assistant Chief McDermott also said firefighters would probably have to return to the scene over the next four or five days to extinguish rekindlings.

Early on, arson was mentioned as the cause and law enforcement was requested. One person said that a couple of kids were seen running from the area, and several people commented that the fire was in the area of a homeless camp.

Glenn County Observer

Glenn County law enforcement and the various fire departments in the county have long recognized the desirability if not the outright need for consolidating fire dispatching.

Presently, each fire department makes its own arrangements for dispatching. The Orland Fire Department, as well as the departments of Capay, Ord Bend, Bayliss, Glenn-Codora, and Butte City, are dispatched by the Corning Fire Department; Hamilton City is currently dispatched by the Cal Fire Tehama-Glenn Unit in Red Bluff; and after years of doing its own dispatching, the Willows Fire Department, in late 2019, also switched to the Cal Fire Tehama-Glenn Unit.

The City of Orland and the Orland Fire Protection District have been jointly contracting with City of Corning since 2007, although calls initially route through the Glenn County Sheriff dispatch. Orland pays Corning a fixed rate per dispatched call, amounting to about $20,000 per year for the city and $15,000 for the district.

At tonight’s (Tuesday’s) Orland City Council meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m., Orland Fire Chief Justin Chaney plans to ask the council to endorse a memorandum of understand (MOU) for countywide consolidation of fire dispatch services.

According to the backup material for tonight’s agenda item, “Studies and discussion about the potential and feasibility for consolidation of dispatch have spanned 10 years, with districts generally in agreement on the need but not finding ways to overcome logistical and jurisdictional hurdles. Following successful implementation of countywide mutual aid agreements this year, recent conversations about dispatch proved more fruitful, with Chief Chaney representing both the city and rural departments.”

The backup material continues, “County of Glenn administration, along with fire chiefs of both cities and all districts in the County, are in agreement on a draft MOU to provide unified dispatch services through the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office. Systems are being brought into place to enable this functional realignment, to start officially January 1, 2023.

“Orland and Willows would each contribute $30,000 annually, adjusted per Consumer Price Index in succeeding years. The balance of the expense would be borne by the county.”

It is expected the consolidated system will shave some two to five minutes off our notification and response times, precious minutes that could very easily save lives and better protect the citizens of Glenn County.

This agreement, with scope of services and contribution obligations, will be presented to the City of Willows on Tuesday, Oct. 12, and will soon go to the Glenn County Board of Supervisors for their consideration.

A similar MOU is going to each fire district. Hamilton City Fire Chief Dan James told The Observer Tuesday afternoon that the MOU for his fire department has already been signed.

The MOU for the Orland Volunteer Fire Department follows:

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

CENTRALIZED FIRE DISPATCH SERVICES
