Congratulations Carlo for completing your 10 shift. Wondering what a 10 shift is? Glad you asked The purpose of our 10 shift is to provide a foundation of training to our new employees on how we as a district operate on a daily level to serve our amazing community. Daily, Carlo had to complete multiple manipulative evolutions, drills, classroom sessions and his daily written exam. To successfully pass his 10 shift, yesterday he was tested on manipulative skills as well as a 100 question exam. Now he is off to start his probation with his new crew where he will have to complete a task book of training sign offs and tests once more. Good luck Carlo and keep your chin up!

We have two entries into the Hercules scarecrow competition. Win or lose we enjoyed participating. So if you are driving by either of our stations check out our scarecrows and let us know what you think in the comments below. Hope you enjoy the creativity and ingenuity that was put into these. Great job everyone.

Just want to give a shout out to 75-B shift for the great work on the landscaping in front of the station. Keep up the great work. #rodeoca #fire #firestation #station #firefighter #stationpride

Repost from @crockettcarquinezfirefighters using @RepostRegramApp - Crockett, CA, 10/6/2020, 5:09 @crockettcarquinezfirefighters @rodeo_hercules_firefighters fire crews were dispatched to John Swett High School for reports of a commercial structure fire. Arriving crews located fire behind the gym building. The fire extended to the rear portion of the adjacent barn building with moderate smoke conditions through the attic space requiring crews to pull down much of the ceili...ng to look for extension. Crews from Rodeo-Hercules E75 conducted a search inside of the shop building looking for extension. All buildings are standing and structurally sound and no injuries were reported. A total of five engine companies and three chief officers were on scene, along with EMS and PG&E. An initial investigation determined the cause of the fire to be from metal debris from an old fire escape being cut away by construction crews. #crockettfire #jshs #fire #johnswetthigh #crockett #animalhouse #rodeoherculesfire : @codyrapella and 7801

For his first tour of work we would like to introduce everyone to the newest member of our team, Carlo Granzella. Carlo will be going through our departments training program called a 10 shift. During this time he will be going over many different topics of hands on training before he begins with his normal crew.

Your Rodeo Hercules Firefighters have returned home safely from their initial attack assignment on the glass incident in Napa County. Our experience and resilience as firefighters was most definitely put to the test. A lot of great work was performed by our members and some great saves to life and property were made. Wishing we could stay longer to continue the good work but all the while we are happy to be home safe. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. #fire #firedept #firefighter #firefighters #napa #hercules #cityofhercules #townofrodeo #rodeoca #herculesca #wildfire #vegitationfire #fireengine

Early this evening both of our companies were dispatched to a report of a capsized boat with one victim in the water. A Phillips 66 staff member witnessed the capsize occur and threw a life ring to the victim. The US COAST GUARD was in the area and pulled the man aboard. The real hero of this story is the victims life vest which truly saved a life tonight in the rough bay waters. Please, always remember to wear a life vest, your life may depend on it. Thank you pinole fire, phillips66, US COAST GUARD for the help. #fire #firedept #hercules #cityofhercules #townofrodeo #rodeoca #herculesca #coastguard #bayarea #westcontracosta #contracostacounty #water #waterrescue #openwaterrescue
