USAR drill: metal cutting, concrete breaching and supplied air for a confined space entry. If you want to see steel melt faster than butter on a hot skillet, grab an exothermic torch. It operates at 7,400 degrees 🔥
Engine 3 contained a fire to a single unit at a two-story motel while rooms above, next to and behind were quickly searched. Four engine and two trucks responded 🔥
Reminder: this Saturday is the Women in Public Safety Day!
10a-2p at our training center (directions in our bio). Come check out demonstrations, equipment and more importantly come talk to professionals in the public safety field and learn more about our jobs 🤙 parking will be at the Finley center, just east of the training tower.
FF Williamson performing VES and making grabs at the fire nuggets training conference. Over 500 firefighters from across the country attended. For five days we trained on high rise fires, forcible entry, ventilation, searching, taking command of destructive wildfires and more. Tag your crew or department if you attended 🤙

Engine 1, Engine 11 and Truck 1 handling a vehicle accident on northbound 101. One vehicle spun out and then struck a second vehicle, the second vehicle then rolled down the embankment onto the off-ramp. Seatbelt use helped minimize injuries 👍
Truck 1: in service since 1874 🪜🛻

This wheelchair shorted out in a downpour but Engine 8 was able to help the wheelchair finish its journey. InResponse gave the individual a ride back. Teamwork 🤝
🔥🔥 Wait for it 🔥🔥 Truck 1 on a mutual aid fire.
Engine 5, Engine 10, Truck 1 and a training Captain put our recruits through a series of training burns near the end of their academy. Recruits on the inside observe fire behavior before extinguishing the fire. The recruits on the roof worked on their ventilation skills.
Notice how much smoke is coming from the door and other openings of the burn room at the beginning of the video compared to the end with vertical ventilation in place. The visibility and survivability inside the building improves greatly once the roof is vented 🔥
Ride along with Engine 3, Engine 11 and Truck 1 as they respond to a vehicle extrication assignment. The SUV was traveling at freeway speeds when it struck multiple trees. Just prior to being fully ejected from the SUV the driver became trapped leaving them half hanging out of the vehicle, the other half trapped in the vehicle. Truck 1 completed the extrication in 19 mins.
Engine 2 and Truck 2 securing a carport that was blown over a home before landing in the opposite side yard. All companies have been busy today 🤙

Engine 4 made a new friend on scene of a vehicle accident. With no leash available they had to hang onto her to keep her out of traffic 😎
What manufacturer has the best grill?
FF Kangas climbing Trucks 2’s 100’ ladder. See the nozzle about 15’ from the end of the ladder? It’s pinned there to minimize the ladder’s profile to aid in a rescue from a small window. The crews can flip one lever and attach it very top of the ladder to help drown a large fire 🔥
Nice ride @jrhurt1952 🤙
West side crews arriving and extinguishing a garage fire in Dist 3 this morning. A quick knockdown prevented the fire from extending into the home 🤙
We're 162 years old today! On February 2, 1861, 25 members of the community stepped up and started the Santa Rosa Fire Department. There were many times where the firefighters professionalism, determination and hard work stopped conflagrations and literally kept Santa Rosa on the map (that same playbook has been used a couple times in the last few years by todays @santarosafirefighters). Interesting fact- we almost bought a ladder company first since it was cheaper than a hand pumper. While the ladder company would help with rescues and fire containment, a pumper will actually extinguish a fire so the order was changed to the more expensive pumper.
