Crystal Geyser Hosts Celebration to Honor Volunteer Firefighters
On Wednesday, June 12, Crystal Geyser held a heartfelt celebration at its Olancha water bottling plant to honor the heroic volunteer firefighters who safeguarded both the facility and the community during the Cartago Fire earlier this year. The event underscored the critical role of volunteer fire departments in protecting lives and property.
Volunteer firefighters from Olancha Cartago Volunteer Fire Department (VFD), Bishop VFD, Lone Pine VFD, and Independence VFD were instrumental in containing the fire that broke out in Cartago on the night of April 3. Their swift action prevented significant damage, saving the Crystal Geyser Plant from major destruction and ensuring that its 120-plus employees would have jobs to return to.
