Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of Chief Rob Stone and Pilot Sandy Willett. On this day in 2006, AA410 was flying a fire on the Sequoia Forrest and was involved in an accident that claimed the lives of these brave men. May we never forget.

The recent heat wave has reminded us of the difficulty in performing our duties for the citizens of Tulare County. Even in extreme temperatures, we are always here to serve! #tularecountyfirefighters #tularecofire
HAPPY DAY OF THE NOZZLE!! Nozzles in the fire service are like hammers to a carpenter. Even though they are all designed for different jobs they all accomplish one thing and that is to put fires out.

Fire ground Week!
Week 8 of the recruit academy is dedicated to the essential skills required to function on a fire ground. The topics included Firefighter Survival, Forcible Entry, Vertical Ventilation, Hose advancement, Ladders and Vent, Enter, Search techniques. The week culminates with live fire scenarios in which the recruits are placed into companies and given different assignments where they use the skills learned throughout the week under realistic conditions to accomplish certain tasks.
Training in these kinds of physical conditions and increased stress helps prepare the recruits for the field and to ensure that when the time comes, they will be ready to answer the call and perform to the best of their capabilities. Lots of hard work and preparation goes into this week in order to provide the most realistic training possible.

19 Granite Mountain Hot Shots paid the ultimate sacrifice while battling the Yarnell Hill Fire. This is the greatest loss of life in the U.S. Fire Service since September 11th, 2001. May they always be remembered for their bravery. RFB.

Last week, your Tulare County Firefighters attended River and Flood Rescue Technician training in Chico, CA. This class included techniques such as boat rescue, throw bag drills, as well as high line rescue operations. These skills are necessary in order to complete a safe and successful swift water or flood rescue. Tulare County has several major waterways including the Kaweah River, Tule River and the Kern River. Temperatures are heating up and many take to the rivers and lakes to beat the heat. This training helps ensure we will be ready in case of a water emergency.

TCFD Academy 20 and Visalia City Academy 2123 had an intense week of work learning ways to safely conduct vehicle extrication as well as wildland fire training. The skills they learned there will be integral in their upcoming career for their respective departments.
Week 5: Academy 20 has completed Driver/Operator 1E. This class covers all aspects of driving fire apparatus off-road. It is crucial for our Engineers to know and be comfortable with driving off-road as a large amount of our calls occur off the paved roads. In addition off-road driving is a major factor durning the wildfire season. We would also like to thank the City of Clovis for allowing us to use their Type 3 driving course.
