Edison International is contributing a donation to help Avalon purchase a type three fire engine, which increases their wildfire response capabilities.
The Avalon Fire Department has 10 full-time employees and 25 community volunteers.
With just three fire engines, the department is left vulnerable if one were to break down or be in use elsewhere when a fire breaks out.
