It is that time of year again when El Dorado Hills Fire Department's "Holiday Hero's Toy Drive" we begin collecting and distributing toys to families in need. Each of our five EDH fire stations as well as Rescue Fire Station 83 will have collection boxes in front of our stations to allow for donations with social distancing. We also look forward to spreading some cheer this holiday season with our Santa stops. 

If you plan to burn vegetative debris on your property, you will need to obtain a burn permit. Burn permits are available online at https://burnpermit.fire.ca.gov/. Please note burn permits are no longer issued in person at our fire stations.
