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.

The job wasn't done until they replaced their smoke detector battery. #couldsaveyourlife

Your phone may "fall back" by itself but your smoke detector needs you to put in a new battery. #couldsaveyourlife

Local 4757 is selling a breast cancer awareness shirt this month. Tulare County Firefighters will be wearing this shirt on duty this month. Proceeds will go to the Kawea Delta Foundation Lost Girls Mammogram Fund. This fund helps uninsured or under insured women receive a Mammogram. Many insurance companies won't pay For a mammogram when the patient is under 40, regardless of history.https://squareup.com/store/tcpfal4757/

Congratulations to the new members of North Central Fire. Several past and present members of L4757 made the jump to help this agency re-form. It's been 12 years since many of us took a similar picture in our baby blues. Best of luck and continued success as your organization grows.

Daylight Saving Time starts tonight at 0200. If you change your clock correctly you will be on time. When you change your smoke detector battery you could save your family's life. Which one will you change first?

Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends of Whittier Police Department Officer Keith Wayne Boyer. #EOW 02/20/17, Rest In Peace brother. #L4757

Chief Norman shared some sad news this morning. Rest in peace Chief Sunderland.

Colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart that I pass along the following information. Our first Tulare County Fire Chief Steve Sunderland passed away suddenly last night at his home in Dinuba. Chief Sunderland served as our Chief from 2006 to 2011 after a distinguished career with CAL Fire. During his retirement he was very active in the community and enjoyed golfing on a very frequent basis. His loss in the fire service community will leave a huge void. Funeral arrangements are pending and I will pass along service information in the very near future. Please keep the Sunderland Family in your thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Charlie Norman, Fire Chief
Tulare County Fire Department
