“On February 28, 1918 fire fighters from across the United States an Canada gathered in Washington DC. Banding together with a common purpose to better working conditions for their brothers.
For 104 years the International Association of Fire Fighters has led the way protecting our profession.
Those early priorities are still at the very foundation of the #iaff today - safety, fair hours, a good wage, and a dignified retirement.
I’m humbled to serve as an elected officer of this great union and, along with 326,000 fire fighters and emergency medical professionals, I am PROUD TO BE AN IAFF MEMBER.”-Frank Lima PC: @limaforgst 🚒
The @fresnofirefighters send our condolences, and our hearts are with our brothers and sisters of @stocktonfirefighters on the tragic loss of Captain Max Fortuna.
Keeping our Brothers & Sisters from @iafflocal1014 @lacountyfd in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Your #fresnofirefighters have a tradition among the members. Every year, one member receives the trophy for “Most Working Structure Fires”, and that trophy is passed down by the recipient from the previous year. This year, FF Gabriel Lopez of Engine 4 responded to 66 working structure fires and proudly received the trophy from his captain, assigned to the same engine company. Your Fresno firefighters work hard for you every day. Many of them respond to well over 50 working structure fires a year along with hundreds of hours of training, medical aid responses, rescues, and calls for service. #fresnofire #servefresno
Your #fresnofirefighters have had a busy January. 524 fires since the first day of the year, with 294 of these incidents having homeless involvement.
Today, they were called out to a vacant home on the 3800 block of E. Woodward for a reported structure fire. This is the site of previous fires related to homeless activity.
On arrival, firefighters encountered smoke showing and initiated an interior fire attack. The crews inside found that someone had been burning wire intentionally on the floor of the home. They knocked down the fire quickly and while conducting a search of the occupancy, firefighters rescued this little girl from the room the fire was started in. She was found sealed inside a backpack. The puppy was evaluated on scene and turned over to SPCA. Happy to report that the quick actions of the Engine 4 and Engine 8 crews were able to get her out before she was injured.

464 fires since the 1st day of 2021 have kept your #fresnofighters incredibly busy in this new year. Want to help us protect Fresno? Your chance will be here soon.
Every new recruit to the fire department has to attend and complete a full training academy known as "drill school". This is a long, grueling process designed to prepare recruits for the dangers and challenges that FFD personnel face every day. Upon graduation from this academy, successful candidates are awarded the privilege of having their badge pinned on their chest by a loved one and then promoted to Firefighter. Then the real work begins. An assignment to a busy firehouse in the city and a 13 month probationary process commences where each individual is continually tested to their limits. The citizens we work so hard to keep safe deserve the best and we will not settle for less so get yourself ready for the challenge!
Go to FRESNO.GOV/FIREJOBS and research all the information about our upcoming recruitment. Register and participate in our first ever Town Hall Recruitment Webinar, spots are filling up fast and are limited to the first 500 people to register. Find an EMT course and sign up for a CPAT test as soon as possible. Spring will be here fast and you do not want to miss out on this opportunity. We hope to see you next week in the webinar. All information can be found on the recruitment page.

Your #fresnofirefighters want to congratulate Captain Ockey on his retirement! His career began in November 1987 and he rode away on a skateboard December 5th, 2020. Captain Ockey spent much of his career Downtown at the busiest stations as well as in the Training Division. He finished off his career at Station 17 in North Fresno. Captain Ockey, your Fresno Fire family wish you a happy retirement! Thank you for all you’ve done for the city and for the members of Local 202! Enjoy the ride! #fresnofire
Your #fresnofirefighters want to thank you for all your support this year. 2020 was tough for many of the wonderful families in our city, but rest assured that our service to you will always be our top priority. 2021 won’t be any slower; we get busier and busier every year. Your Fresno Firefighters promise to keep protecting and serving you to the best of our abilities 24/7, 365! #fresnofire
Helmet cam video from one of your #fresnofirefighters on Engine 8 shows how much work is required for each individual that responds to one of these fires.
This was engine 8s third #workingfire in 48 hours.
Early Tuesday morning, Fresno Fire responded to the report of a #commercialfire on Tulare near Cedar. On arrival, crews found heavy fire through the roof of a large vacant building. Firefighters initiated a quick, aggressive attack to knock down the fire and protect the neighboring homes and businesses. Thorough searches of the structure ensured no one was inside but clear evidence of homeless activity was located throughout. No injuries to citizens or firefighters reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation. #fresnofire @fresnofiredepartment
Your #fresnofirefighters on the C shift had 5 #workingfires over the course of their 48 hour tour.
This fire is of the apartment fire near Weldon Ave and Fresno Street in central Fresno. Engine 5 was first due and found a single story 12 pack of apartments with heavy fire involvement in the attic space of two units. Crews arrived, pulled hose lines, and because this fire came in first thing in the morning, went into rescue mode to start clearing apartments. Command split arriving companies to clear all the apartments of occupants. Firefighters pulled ceiling and quickly climbed up into the attic space with a hose line to start extinguishing the fire and kept it from spreading throughout the entire attic space.
Once the bulk of the fire was extinguished, crews began to cover people’s belongings with tarps to protect them from water damage during overhaul. #fresnofire @fresnofiredepartment @californiafirefighter
Last week, your #fresnofirefighters hosted our ARFF Annual FAR 139 Live Fire Night Drill/Training.

Short clip of your #fresnofirefighters making entry on the second story #apartmentfire last week. Crews on scene made a quick stop on this garden style apartment (common courtyard with apartments facing it), keeping it to the apartment of origin with minimal spread into the attic. #fresnofire #workingfire #fireattack
