The Lookingglass Rural Fire District is proud to announce that Firefighter/EMT John Casey Cota has been deployed to the Evans Creek Fire as a Line EMT.

Line EMTs play a critical role on large wildfire incidents by providing emergency medical care to firefighters assigned to the fireline. Working in rugged terrain and challenging conditions, they ensure personnel receive timely medical treatment while supporting safe and effective wildfire operations.

John's deployment is a reflection of the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by LRFD volunteers. His commitment to serving not only the Lookingglass community but also communities throughout Oregon exemplifies the spirit of the fire service and the mutual aid partnerships that help protect lives and property during wildfire season.

The members of Lookingglass Rural Fire District are proud of John's service and wish him a safe and successful assignment. We look forward to welcoming him home upon the completion of his deployment.

Please join us in keeping John and all firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and support staff working on the Evans Creek Fire in your thoughts as they continue their efforts to protect Oregon's communities and natural resources.
