January is Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month. In support of our active and retired @chulavistafirefighters members battling this awful disease. We urge firefighters and our public supporters to share and advocate for stronger protection! In partnership with the IAFF, January is designated as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month to provide fire fighters the necessary tools and guidance to develop life-saving protocols for cancer prevention and to support those with a cancer diagnosis within their departments. Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness month is focusing on “Doing it Right”. The theme coincides with our White Paper “Doing it Right- Reducing cancer in the fire service a groundbreaking resource for firefighters, EMS providers, and their families.” Since 2005, FCSN has been a lifeline for thousands of cancer-stricken fire fighters, offering one-on-one mentoring, critical support, and hope when it’s needed most. We encourage you to use content from each week to hold weekly a safety stand down in your department. Use the provided tools to engage fire fighters in discussions on steps they can take to reduce the risk of occupational cancer. #FFCancerMonth #FightFFCancer #DoingItRight

A great weekend this past weekend supporting the Hayward Fire Demolition Derby at the Good Guys Autumn Get Together.
With more than 25 teams competing in 3 events the action drew the crowd back for more throughout the day.

Hayward Fire walked away with the win.

We are honored to support these fun and purposeful events within the communities served by our local FDs and the membership

Till next time…...

It's ! This year’s FPW campaign is “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape!”. Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. This year's campaign aims to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires. For more information about Fire Prevention Week, visit www.fpw.org.

International Firefighters' Day - National Fallen Firefighters Foundation International Firefighters' Day is a way to say thank you to the world’s firefighters who keep safe. NFFF wants you to celebrate with us on May 4, 2022.

Happy 2022!
