For K. Limon, joining RTFC meant taking a leap of faith.

At just 19 years old, she made the decision to leave college and pursue a career that her father had once been a part of, a decision that would not only shape her career, but who she would become.

“With the knowledge and experience I gained through recruit class and four years of shift works, I wouldn’t have made any other decision.”

Through the challenges of training and life on shift, she found more than a profession. She found a foundation built on sacrifice, discipline, consistency, and teamwork.

“The same standards I’ve learned at RTFC, responsibility, respect, the value of safety, and working as a team, have shaped not only my career, but my personal life as well.”

RTFC has operated as a nonprofit organization since 1948.

Our mission has never been driven by profit.
It’s driven by protecting people, industry and the communities we serve.

That’s something we’re proud of.

Growth happens outside of your comfort zone.

That’s why training never stops.

Today we honor the service members who were wounded or gave their lives in defense of our nation.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
