Meet Dr. Zeller, a volunteer with VCFD’s US&R. She serves as a subject matter expert on technical large animal rescue calls, allows us as a Department and Regional Task Force to be more diverse in our capabilities when providing services outside normal operations to our citizens.

A quick video about recent events. If you approach standing or moving water: Turn around! Don’t drown! Just 6” of moving water can knock you off your feet.

Pretty big escalation in NorCal wildfire activity in exactly the spots you'd expect things to get going first based on max drought severity: in the heart of severe drought region near Shasta & along the Sierra/Coast Range foothills. A sampling of fire camera views. #CAwx #CAfire

Awesome images from last weeks photo shoot in #Camarillo - one of Ventura County’s new S-70i Firehawk Helicopters taken by Creigh Photo.

These aircraft are equipped with a 1000-gallon water tank, a rescue hoist, and night vision capabilities just to name a few components...
