I promised my folks that I wouldn’t ask them to do something I wasn’t willing to do myself.

Last night your Murrieta firefighters, along with Corona, Riverside County, and Soboba firefighters participated in vaccinate the vaccinator at Rancho Springs Medical Center. A number of Murrieta firefighter/paramedics are partnering with the county’s healthcare providers to vaccinate our community and those in need. We do much more than fight fires. Community health is the essence of our mission.... We would like to thank Rancho Springs Medical Center and Southwest Healthcare Systems for hosting the clinic.

We are still growing our base of everyday heroes. If you have not signed up yet do it today. The life you save could be a friend, neighbor, or family member. #PulsePoint Find out more: https://bit.ly/31NvsJ3

Your tree dries out more and more with each day it’s in your home. While keeping your Christmas tree around a little longer may be aesthetically pleasing, but you may be putting your family at risk. Make a plan to remove it and reduce the odds of a house fire.

Yesterday, several-concerned citizens reached out to Murrieta Fire, our 9-1-1 professionals, and City Hall concerned with the appearance of a fire truck in a local political parade. The fire truck shown in the photo below is not related to Murrieta Fire & Rescue in any way. It looks like the fire truck is older and possibly retired from another fire agency and now owned by a private person. Again, this is not a Murrieta Fire & Rescue fire truck. We appreciate each American’...s right to vote how they choose on Election Day. It is not within the guidelines or operating procedures of this agency to promote or advertise for any political candidate on any platform.

Thanksgiving 2020 feels very different this year, however, you celebrate today, let's all give thanks for our families, our health, and our community.

Always remember to plan ahead if you will be celebrating. If you plan to drink, plan for a sober driver to take you home. Is it your turn to be the designated driver? Take that role seriously and do not consume alcohol, not even one drink. #MFRCares

This Thanksgiving Eve, let’s spread the message about the dangers of impaired driving and Boycott Blackout Wednesday! Remember: Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving. #MFRCares

We can't stress this one enough: More cooking fires happen on #Thanksgiving than any other day of the year! Stand by your pan: If you leave the kitchen, turn the burner off. Always turn pot handles toward the back of the stove.... #ThanksgivingDinner
