Press Release

On October 25, 2024 at 2003hrs, Chugiak Volunteer Fire & Rescue was dispatched to a report of a non-occupancy structure fire in the area of Tony Circle. On arrival of the first officer, the address was updated to Schaff Drive, and he reported a large shop building that was fully involved. Engine 31 laid a 5” supply line from the end of the driveway and was supplied by a tender shuttle operation. Chugiak responded with two engines, four tenders, and multiple command and support apparatus. Engine 31 flowed an estimated 30117 gallons of water during the initial fire attack.

We would like to thank the Anchorage Fire Department’s Tender 11 and Engine 11 from Eagle River, and Central Mat-Su Pumper-Tender 51 for assisting us on scene with the water supply operation.

The cause of the fire is not available at this time and there were no firefighter or civilian injuries.

Thanks to Matt Cacciolfi for the drone photos and to the citizens that dropped off water for the hard working firefighters.

As we reflect on sunnier days, the members of the Chugiak Volunteer Fire Department warmly thank Our Redeemer Lutheran Church for hosting the “Race to the Rescue 5K Fun Run” for the second year running. We are so honored by the community showing up to support CVFRD. This event has resulted in generous donations to CVFRD in 2023 ($2,693.66) and 2024 ($4,071.60).

THANK YOU to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, the race participants, and all who donated to graciously bless the volunteer members of CVFRD and the work we do.

Chugiak EMS was dispatched for a medical emergency

Chugiak EMS was dispatched for a medical emergency at Eklutna Lake last night around 1am. Due to the distance of the patient 13 miles back from the base of the lake, our partners from @lifemedalaska were requested to assist. Lifemed 2 landed at the Bold Airstrip and the crew was shuttled to the patient utilizing ALS-31 and the UTV. CVFRD is fortunate to have great front country rescue resources and partners to facilitate rescues like these in some vast and remote locations. All responders were clear of the lake by 0630.

This area does not have cell service or phones to use. Always remember to have an emergency plan, let someone know where you are going, and have a way to call for help. This rescue was possible due to the subjects having a satellite communication device to call for help.
