This week Clovis Fire took possession of our new OES Type 3 Engine (OES 5306). Like our current OES Type 1 Engine, OES 5306 is provided by the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and is housed, maintained, and staffed by Clovis Fire. These engines are available to be deployed year-round to all types of emergencies throughout the state. Clovis Firefighters are dedicated to not only providing service to our community, but to the citizens of California. OES 5306 will be housed at Fire Station 5 located at Temperance and Alluvial. #servicewithpride

All week long your Clovis Firefighters spent time conducting Rapid Intervention Crew Operations training. This type of training focuses on the rescue of a downed Firefighter in a mayday situation. Specifically, crews focused on ways to deliver supplemental air to a downed Firefighter, as well as, rescuing a Firefighter who has fallen through the floor. #servicewithpride

A huge thank you to Kara, A.K.A Miss Clovis, for dropping off a complete Thanksgiving Dinner to the crew at Station 4! (Shaw and Armstrong). We are very grateful and this dinner sure will not last long at the dinner table on Thanksgiving! *All covid guidelines were followed during the delivery. The individuals pictured briefly came together for a quick photo* #servicewithpride #thankful

A friendly reminder to not only change our clocks, but to change our batteries in all of our smoke detectors. #smokedetectorssavelives

I just want to acknowledge the outstanding work of the Clovis Fire Department Command Staff who really made this happen. We put a lot of effort into our grant application. Being only one of the few accredited Fire agencies in California and using good data I am sure really helped through the process. This will enable the department to put another three person engine company in service at no additional cost from our residents. Improving public safety has always been a priorit...y for the Clovis City Council and I am so happy that we could accomplish this together. Great work everyone!!! John Binaski Fire Chief

Most of you, if not all of you, are aware of what has been going on in our state this fire season. We have witnessed devastating fire, after devastating fire across all regions of California. This year, the largest single fire has burned 305,000+ acres (still burning, Creek Fire) and the largest complex fire has burned over 900,000 acres (still burning, August Complex). Year after year, season after season, your Clovis Firefighters continue to rise to the occasion and lend a... helping hand to our neighbors throughout CA. This year, the beautiful SNF and SQF, our backyard, our mountain community, were the ones who needed the help. Once again, your Clovis Firefighters answered the call. In total, we sent 2-Type 1 engines, 1-Type 1 OES engine, 1- Type 3 engine, 1 heavy equipment boss, 1 radio technician, and 1 field observer to the Creek Fire and Castle Fire. #servicewithpride is something you see on virtually every post we make. Over the past 3 weeks, our members have shown immense pride in what it truly means to serve. We are here for you, we are proud to serve you, and we are grateful for your support!

On the 22nd day of their deployment, Engine 45, along with the rest of Task Force XKI 5053, returned home safely from their assignment on the Creek Fire. We would like to thank you all for your continued support of our members, it does not go unnoticed. #servicewithpride #mountainstrong

*Update on our crews working multiple fires around the state* Engine 40 remains assigned to the Creek Fire. At 16 days, the original crew was swapped out with 3 fresh personnel and remain assigned. Engine 45 remains assigned to the Creek Fire as well, and is currently on their 21st day of their assignment. Yesterday, Brush Engine 40 returned home safely after spending 21 days assigned to the Castle/SQF Complex. In addition to our Brush Engine returning home yesterday, OES 390’s crew was swapped with 3 fresh personnel on the 21st day of their deployment. OES 390 remains assigned to the Creek Fire. We also have multiple members out on single resource assignments committed to fires in California. With red flag warnings in effect and temperatures heating up this week, fire danger remains extremely high. #servicewithpride

A huge thank you to the Clovis High Community for dropping off these supplies to the Creek Fire camp! Your support of all of our crews is greatly appreciated! #servicewithpride #clovishighactivities

Our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters with the USFS who lost a member of their agency while battling the El Dorado Fire. Our sincere condolences go out to the firefighter’s family and friends.
