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.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the men and women of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. RFB.
Last week Academy 20 completed Driver/Operator 1B. The purpose of this class is to teach our Engineers every aspect of our pumps, from drafting to supplying water on incidents. They learned to use pump calculations and how friction loss plays a role in fighting fire. These skills will be crucial for the recruits to know when they start working in the field.

Tulare County Fire Department Recruits finished week 3 of their Academy, which encompassed Low Angle Rope Rescue Operational (LARRO) training. Recruits practiced lowering rescuers and raising victims from areas of steep terrain. Practicing these skills will ensure your Tulare County Firefighters perform future rescues in a safe and timely manner.

Your tularecountyfirefighters along with @tularecofire have been working together to develop a peer support program designed to provide assistance to all members of the fire department in their time of need.
Mental health is often over looked in our profession and issues can be swept under the rug simply because it’s easier to look the other way than to seek help. Recognition and awareness are some of the keys to understanding when it may be time to talk to a professional. It’s been proven that lending an ear helps ease the stress caused by the things first responders see on the job. This support network is designed to keep us mentally strong so that we can continue to serve the citizens of our county on a daily basis.
Many departments are breaking away from the stigma that post traumatic stress is a sign of weakness. Many are learning that this is not true, but that it’s a sign that you are a human being. Recently we had a few of our members sit down with @drjanaps to discuss some of the basics of peer support and how it has helped them. (Link In Bio)
