The kids from the school nearby never miss a chance to hype them up — so yesterday, we returned the favor with a surprise: hats for our biggest supporters.

Safe to say… they loved it ❤️

🚁We’re leading the way in Orange County!🔥
This month we opened of our new helicopter pad in San Clemente — a vital step in enhancing our readiness and response for our communities.

[OC Firefighters @ocfirefighters]

Why this matters:
•These aircraft let us cover wildland, coastal, urban-interface and remote rescue scenarios with unmatched speed.
•The new helipad in San Clemente means faster vertical lift access closer to critical zones in South County.

🚨 2-Alarm Fire | Santa Ana 🚨
This afternoon, OCFA crews responded to a 2-alarm blaze in a row of single-story apartments. Heavy fire in a middle unit was spreading fast to neighboring homes.

🚒 Firefighters launched a coordinated interior attack & roof ventilation, >>>>

Thanks to the dedication of your union firefighters, E46 is now staffed with four firefighters. This increase in staffing—made possible by a federal grant spearheaded by Local 3631—saved lives, reduced property damage, and increased firefighter safety.

🚒 Trapped in a Trench – 6 Feet Down 🚒
Both legs pinned. No way out. A terrifying situation that could have ended in tragedy.

But this is exactly what our Technical Rescue Team trains for—relentlessly. >>>>

It's #NationalNursesWeek! 🩺 Did you know that OCFA has Nurse Educators?

The team is made up of six Nurse Educators and a Nurse Educator Supervisor who assist in delivering EMS training and curriculum to our firefighter paramedics.

The 911 phone rang in our Emergency Command Center (ECC) one recent afternoon. On the other end was Sue, a homeowner trapped by a raging fire below her. Thick, choking smoke filled her two-story home, and the heat was closing in. Her call was a desperate plea for help. >>
