Hamblin and some of the members of the Plumas County Fire Chiefs Association attend a meeting hosted by the Indian Valley Fire Department.
There's Nothing
"Fishy" about this story

ways. She is active in all the
fundraisers and helps in
anything the department
may need. "The big event
fundraiser of the year that
keeps her very busy is
the Firemen's Ball every
January," said Jim.
In 1993, Greenville and
Taylorsville merged and be-
came Indian Valley Fire and
Rescue. They operate four
fire stations -- Greenville,
Taylorsville, North Arm and
Genesee Woods -- and have
34 volunteer fiirefighters. Jim
recalls, "Greenville had a
$24,000 budget in 1968, and by
2003 the combined budget
was $215,000." Indian Valley
Fire Department is part
of the Indian Valley Commu-
nity Service District, which
also provides water, sewer,
streetlights and recreation
services in the area.
"We have always worked
closely with Quincy FD. I
knew a lot of the firemen
there and still do. I remember
the open-air boxing ring
where the current main Quin-
cy fire station is on Main
Street. I remember their 1934
Dodge being in service," said
Jim. "It's now a restored an-
tique used in parades."
Jim remembers many large
fires, including when two
blocks of Main Street burned
in Quincy in 1934. The
Greenville Fire Department
responded to help and pro-
tected other structures to
stop the spread of the fire.
More recently the huge
Moonlight Fire threatened
Taylorsville at one point.
"Whenever Indian Valley
gets toned out for an emer-
gency, Jim always is the first
one to answer up on the radio
and respond, day or night. I
respect his position and his
many years of dedicated ser-
vice to his community and to
the Plumas County fire ser-
vice family," said Plumas Eu-
reka Fire Chief Gary Castag-
netti, who serves as president
of the Plumas County Fire
Chiefs Association.
"We have many members
with a very long record of
great service, including our
assistant fire chief, John
Hunter, owner of Hunter
Hardware. He has served for
over 38 years. Another good
example is Captain David
Preston, who has served for
38 years and works in com-
puters in Quincy," said Jim.
"I'm proud to have been a
part of it. It's not just me; if I
did not have a lot of good men
and women it wouldn't be
anything."
Quincy Fire Chief Robbie
Cassou has worked with Jim
for many years, and said,
"Jim is an icon in the Plumas
County fire services. Many of
the vehicles and much of the
tools and equipment in Indi-
an Valley FD were handmade
by Jim. His guidance with
their muster team has led to
many trophies and champi-
onships building a legacy of
departmental camaraderie
and teamwork. His ability to
be there day or night 24/7 in
support his community is an
inspiration to us all."

"Three years after my oldest son left home, the Oscar fish he left
behind finally outgrew his fish tank, so I decided to see if I could find
him a new home.
"I placed a classified ad in our local newspapers and was over-
Whelmed at the number of phone calls I received from people want-
ing this fish. I got more than 10 calls alone on the first couple days
the paper came out.
"The classified section in this paper worked so quickly for me, it
made my husband envious because he has had his own ads running
on Craigs List and Ebay and hasn't received a single inquiry. He's
now placed those same items in our paper's classifieds and I'll be
sure to tell you how that works!"
