San Luis Obispo City Firefighters IAFF Local 3523

SLO City firefighters are continuing in their support the San Luis Obispo Children’s museum with custom turnout gear!

This afternoon, your SLO City firefighters made quick work of a residential structure fire. A coordinated attack with interior fire operations and vertical ventilation led to minimal loss. The residence was unoccupied and no injuries were incurred by crews.

Remembering 15 years since Chief Callahan’s passing. A legacy left and a generations of firefighters impacted for the better.

Thankful for the support from our local community! If you haven’t been out to you need to 👍

Congratulations to Cody who was the selected as the recipient of our B.E.A.R fund scholarship. He has worked extremely hard in his life as a husband, father, and active military member. We are proud to present this award to him and wish him the best in his pursuit to a full time firefighting career!

T2 was out yesterday educating our youth for Fire Prevention month. They also were able to show support through our BEAR fund for the Burn Foundation!

After 15 years with SLOFD and 24 in the fire service we say goodbye to Firefighter Nathan Williams. Nathan incurred on the job injuries which led to him having a medical retirement. This career we have chosen is an honorable and rewarding one, but there many sacrifices and risks we take along the way. We wish Nathan the best in his ongoing recovery and future endeavors!

E3 had a busy day yesterday. A dumpster fire started at Sinsheimer school as the fireworks show ended. And they were dispatched to a brush fire on the East Cuesta grade for a mutual aid with our fellow county firefighters!

L3523’s Annual Spring BBQ! Another successful day for our members and their families to come enjoy some delicious food from our Pitmaster and enjoy a beautiful day in SLO. Pickle ball also made its way in this year to no surprise 🤣

T1 and E4 completed the “The Murph” in honor of Lt. Murphy and all others who have served in our armed forces🇺🇸 Today we take a pause to remember our freedom doesn’t come free.
