Ever wondered what we do if there’s an emergency in the middle of our emergency?
Twice a year every crew goes through a “live fire” training scenario to practice, rehearse and discuss varying events we may face on the fireground. (Cont)
*scba malfunction
*respiratory distress/low air
*lost or disoriented in a structure
*unable to escape/blocked exit
Crews will be given specific assignments by the incident commander to facilitate a rescue as quickly and efficiently as possible. Good radio communication…(cont)
…and teamwork ensure we do all we can for the most positive outcome.
Everything was simulated but responded to as if real. These training opportunities provide our firefighters with hands on experience should we face it on a response.
After a unique set of circumstances led to us working an initial 36 hour shift, we’ve had the day to rest and recover and ready to go back at it early tomorrow morning.
Our initial assignment was structure triage and assessment up in the foothills above Encino. We assessed the neighborhoods, checked hydrants, laid protective hose lines, and prepared routes of egress should they become necessary.
The weather cooperated as the wind completely died and the spread of the fire towards us slowed. Fire officials took the opportunity to complete water and retardant drops to continue to stifle its growth and progress. We had quite the air show right in front of us for many hours.

Back at home, the dedication never stops. While our crews are making a difference in California, our Utah teams are hard at work training, responding, and staying mission-ready. 💪 Here’s Heavy Rescue Paramedic Megan Fenton refining her rescue skills; proof that excellence is built in the moments between calls, meals, and workouts. Every rep, every drill, every effort ensures we’re ready to answer the call when it matters most. 🔥🚒

Yesterday, after arriving at our check in point at Beaumont and completing our vehicle inspections with CalFire, we waited for an assignment, unsure when it would come. After some anxious uncertainties, we were assigned to the Palisade fire and on the road around 5:00 PM. Distance and traffic held us up and we arrived at the Incident Command Post, where we were immediately asked to go to the north side of the fire between Calabasas and Hollywood Studios, up in the Topanga State Park area. We mobilized at our rendezvous point by 11:45 PM with our 3 separate task forces tasked with structure protection as the fire continues to grow towards that area.
