Chula Vista Urban Search & Rescue 53

Safe travels to four of members on CA-TF-8 who have headed to Hurricane Dorian.

Orientation and Driver training started this week on the new frontline USAR-53.

This morning 3 of our members deployed with TF-8 to aid in search and recovery efforts at the Camp Fire in northern Ca. We wish them safe travels and a quick return home.

Great work from A and C divisions this week rescuing Sammy.

Chula Vista firefighters are pictured here assisting with the extrication of an injured Hot Shot who was hit by a rolling boulder. The Chula Vista REMs (Rapid Extrication Module) team is highly trained in technical rescue and extrication in difficult terrain. This is one of two teams currently deployed to the Hirz fire near Redding CA, and the second at the Monument Fire in Montana. Stay safe! #Local2180 #ChulaVistaFirefighters #ThisisChula

July 7th, 2018 USAR-53 firefighters were dispatched to the Valley Fire in the San Bernardino National Forest as a REMS team, which is a rapid extrication module. These modules are put in place to help evacuate an injured firefighter while on the fire line at large brush fires.

Good luck to our friend Alexis Warrior Princess on her upcoming surgery! Your firefighters at Station 3 are thinking of you and will be waiting for you to visit us when you get back!!!

US&R53, Truck 51, Engine 55, Battalion 51, and the Chula Vista Chula Vista Firefighter's Foundation were honored to have fun with Alexis and her friends and family. She's been battling cancer for several years- and now she has her new friends from Chula Vista Fire in her corner. Keep up the fight Warrior Princess!

Merry Christmas! And thanks to our wonderful citizens for taking care of us with all the treats.
