It has been a busy day for Engine 6 on B-shift, but between all the calls for service, the crew was able to participate in a birthday drive-by parade on Drake Drive. 🎉 🚒

Your @santarosafirefighters responded to a vehicle accident on Brush Creek Road today. Both drivers were transported to the hospital. The driver of the car works in construction and had all of their tools in the trunk. The engine company transported the tools to a family member so the individual could have a quicker return to work once released from the hospital 🛠🪛🧰⚒️
@santarosafirefighters academy 21-1 began this week on Monday. The entry-level academy has five Firefighter-Paramedic Recruits and will consist of 6-weeks. Week 1 has focused on self contained breathing apparatus, firefighter safety & survival, SCBA confidence course, air consumption course, and ropes & knots.
Here’s an update on your @santarosafirefighters new Pierce ladder truck under construction. The cab and tiller box are looking great with fresh paint. The compartment sections are shaping up nicely and the tractor chassis looks strong 💪

It was a busy night for Engine 1. Your @santarosafirefighters from A-shift responded to a handful of medical emergencies as well as a shed fire and then a early morning run in Water Tender 1 down to @rafdlocal1401 for a structure fire. Engine 1 is Santa Rosa Fire Department’s busiest company, annually running over 5k calls.
Truck 2 took advantage of the great weather and performed some high angle rope rescue training. A 100’ ladder and a combined 900’ of life safety rope makes for a versatile combination.

Your @santarosafirefighters cross staff Rescue 1, a Type 1 Heavy Rescue. It carries tools that allow firefighters to breach, enter and search collapsed buildings, even those made of concrete and steel. This small concrete pad no longer serves a purpose and posed a trip hazard. Its removal provided a training opportunity and the crew made quick work of it with Rescue 1’s tools.

As we close the door to the year 2020 and begin 2021, we, your @santarosafirefighters wanted to say thank-you for all the support throughout the year. I think we all can agree, it’s been one wild, unpredictable, crazy ride these past 12-months. It’s unbelievable what our community has been through these last few years, and how strong we have grown and supported one another. We wish everyone a safe and healthy New Year. We, the @santarosafirefighters are honored and proud to serve you. Happy New Year. 🎆🎊

Congratulations to Engineer Matt Da Cunha on his retirement! Matt joined your @santarosafirefighters in 1996 after already spending years in the fire service with another agency. He then promoted to engineer in 2007. Matt spent the lion’s share of his career working on our truck companies where his rope rescue skills shined. Matt was a member of the hazardous material team and a member of @oaklandusar4, the latter had him deployed across the southern and eastern states for various hurricanes making landfall. His attention to detail and ability to spot safety issues will be missed. Matt will spend his retirement with his family as they enjoy their travel trailer and trips to Tahoe. Enjoy your retirement Matt!

Today marks the end of fire season in Northern California. Your @santarosafirefighters are proud to have protected communities up and down the state through strike team developments as active members of the mutual aid system. We are also thankful to the men and women who provided mutual aid to Santa Rosa when another destructive fire entered our city limits. While devastating to those who’s homes were lost, the overall scale of the incident was minimized and no lives were lost thanks to the thousands of fire fighters that poured into Santa Rosa. And another shout out to the family members who stayed back home and held down the fort during this fire season, you guys rock 🤙

Captain Greg McCollum is working his final shift before retiring after nearly 28 years with your @santarosafirefighters! Greg was hired in 1993 and promoted to captain in early 2001. For the last 15 years he has worked station 3 covering Coffey Park and northwest Santa Rosa. Greg’s laughter and stories will be missed! He enjoyed training and keeping his crew well informed of the challenges presented in their district. Greg will spend his time fishing, camping and spending more time with his grandson. Congratulations Greg, enjoy your retirement!

This morning, several of your @santarosafirefighters joined in a united county wide vaccine effort to administer the first shot of the 2-dose series of the FDA-authorized Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. They’re working alongside several other healthcare workers and first responders throughout Sonoma County.

Can you name the three locations seen in these training evolutions? Training on real buildings keeps your @santarosafirefighters proficient at their skills and identifies best parking location for specific buildings.
Bonus: photo four is from a sixth floor fire and you can see Truck 2 utilizing the same predetermined location as they trained on in photo three. This provides the aerial ladder access to the roof and the most number of windows from one spot to aid in rescue, ventilation and fire suppression.
Captain Mike Lellis has retired after 19 years of service! Mike joined your @santarosafirefighters in 2001 after working in the fire service for 10 years. He promoted to Captain in 2010 and spent many years working Engine 2 on the westside of town. Mike was always fun to work with and laughs were a guarantee. Mike’s most recent contribution came while he was working Engine 7 in Oakmont the evening of the Glass Fire. Mike and his crew aggressively engaged the fire as it approached Oakmont and he directed incoming mutual aid engines as they arrived from all over the state. This coordinated effort resulted in saving an untold number of homes in Oakmont. Enjoy your retirement Mike, you will be missed. Congratulations and Godspeed!

Shortly after 7:30PM this evening, your @santarosafirefighters responded to a report of a structure fire on Plata Court. 3 Engines, 1 Ladder Truck, 1 Battalion Chief and 1 Fire investigator were assigned. Firefighters arrived to smoke coming from a 2 story structure. Firefighters rescued 4 dogs, including two unconscious dogs from the smoke filled home. The two @santarosafirefighters shown here, quickly exited the structure and began resuscitating the dogs with specialized animal medical equipment we carry. All four are now doing well.
Your @santarosafirefighters westside units made quick work of a small fire burning along the second story floor joists early this morning. The fire was limited to a single unit of the apartment complex located near the coddingtown mall.

@santarosafirefighters Engine 2 training during their major drill rotation.
With plans for more multi-story apartment buildings to provide additional housing in Santa Rosa, highly maneuverable tillered ladder trucks with their skilled @santarosafirefighters crews continue to play an important role in emergency response. The reserve ladder truck is due for replacement after 21 years of service. Our second Pierce truck is currently under construction, check out these in progress pics. It’s the only time the tiller box and tractor should be this close! 🚒
