Enjoy breath-taking views of Nicasio and the surrounding hills of Marin County while aboard Nicasio Volunteer Fire Department's newest wildland fire engine, Engine 763.

Ride in the rig alongside their volunteer firefighters as they go on a 45-60 minute "area familiarization" outing throughout the Nicasio area. This ride is for 3 persons.

Experience can accommodate four passengers, and include ONE of the following paths:

• A winding loop up Laurel Canyon Rd and around to Indian Hill Rd and back down where you will see beautiful views of the Nicasio Reservoir, the rolling hills across the valley, and the top of Bolinas Ridge.
• A scenic loop beginning at Nicasio Square, up the road behind historic Saint Mary's Church, through a neighbor's ridge-top vineyard, then winding through forested hills with views of Mount Tamalpias, San Francisco, and beyond, and then back down to the fire station on Old Rancheria Road.

Established in 1946 after a major fire in the San Geronimo Valley, today's NVFD is the only all-volunteer and completely independent fire department in Marin County. NVFD responds alongside the Marin County Fire Department on emergency calls within the Nicasio response area, covering almost 40 square miles - from BigRock (East) to the Nicasio Dam (West) and Moon Hill (South) to Rocky Hill (North).

Their diverse membership includes long-time residents, hi-tech professionals and professional firefighters.

NVFD is often first on-scene to help those in need, and also provides a range of prevention & preparedness and community education programs to individuals and businesses in Nicasio.
