Even after the fire is out, Firefighters must continue to take precautions against exposure to these cancer causing carcinogens. Everything used during the fire must either be cleaned or swapped out including PPE, gear, tools and clothes.

A second set of turnouts is crucial so that our units can remain in service and ready to respond while the other set is properly extracted and cleaned using specialized washing machines.

Thank you to The Home Depot for a great surprise. Through their annual campaign called Operation Surprise, they presented the department with a 1000 dollar check. The Home Depot Foundation kicked off the season of giving with a reimagined Operation Surprise campaign. In addition to supporting veterans, Operation Surprise is expanding this season to also reach those serving on the frontlines.
Veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers and many more will receive life-changing surprises and support as the campaign celebrates the selfless spirit of those serving. We are humbled to be on the receiving end.

Today we remember the 19 Fallen Granite Mountain Hotshot firefighters who gave everything June 30th 2013. Please take a moment to remember these sons, fathers and firefighters.

Today when Engine 20, in Doyle Colony, returned from a call the crew found something different. We found a wonderful and thoughtful gift. We appreciate the gifts and the thought that went in to it so much. The West Olive and all Porterville City fire stations were visited as well. Thank you to the families who " Dusted " us with these nice gifts. And yes, we will put the fairy wings to good use.

This past week our department family suffered what could have been a tragic loss. One of our Extra Help Firefighters Ryan Martinez found one of his sons floating in a backyard pool. Due to his quick thinking and experience as a firefighter he was able to perform CPR and his son is in good condition at Valley Children’s Hospital.

It is with a happy heart not just from our family, but from the community as a whole that Mateo will be coming home soon to finish recovering from this near tragic event.

There will be a welcome home parade for Wednesday the 29th at 10 am in Visalia. We will be gathering at the COS parking lot on Woodland and Tulare at 9:15 am Wednesday morning.
