San Diego County Council of Firefighters

Be safe, everyone! <3

Be on the lookout in Ocean Beach. While the firefighters are working on extinguishing the fire, this guy rips off equipment from their rig. :-(

You've seen the rest:

Please help spread the word for the family of one of our own. He worked on the pile at 9/11. Rest in Peace, brother. :-(

Spread the word--especially to your younger relatives who live on their phones! https://www.countynewscenter.com/new-text-911-capability-p/

A word to the wise is sufficient. :-D

With winter on the way and the holiday cooking season ramping up soon, please help spread the awareness of the danger of grease/cooking fires!

Always something surprising in 2020! " 'He told us to stop giving money to people whose houses had burned down from a wildfire because he was so rageful that people in the state of California didn’t support him and that politically it wasn’t a base for him,' Mr. Taylor says in a campaign video. "However, many of the largest fires in California over the past four years have ravaged areas that tend to vote Republican. And wildfire experts say Mr. Trump’s analysis is problematic because most of California’s forests are on land owned by the federal government and their maintenance largely falls under the responsibility of his administration."

Here's a milestone not to be proud of. Prayers for everyone it harm's way and for those fighting to bring these blazes under control. <3

Muchas gracias hermanos! <3

An older article, but not much has changed.

Stay safe out there! :-D

This tribute is very touching! <3

A word to the wise is sufficient. Predictable is preventable. <3

Good heads up call to evacuate BEFORE it blew! This could have been SO much worse had they not already been heading back out of the building. :-( Update: three of the eleven injured firefighters are currently in critical condition.

Prayers for our brothers and sisters to the north tonight. :-(

Sending a voice to our brothers and sisters south of our border for comfort during this difficult time. It is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it. We know that t...here is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give. Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed "Es nuestro sufrimiento que nos reúne. No es amor. El amor no obedece a la mente, y se convierte en odio cuando se ven obligados. El lazo que nos une es más allá de la elección. Somos hermanos. Somos hermanos en lo que compartimos. En el dolor, que cada uno de nosotros debe sufrir solo, en hambre, en la pobreza, en la esperanza, sabemos que nuestra hermandad. Sabemos, porque hemos tenido que aprenderlo. Sabemos que no hay ayuda para nosotros, pero el uno del otro, que ninguna mano nos salvará si no llegamos a nuestra mano. Y la mano que va a llegar a cabo está vacía, como la mía. No tienes nada. Usted posee nada. Eres dueño de nada. Eres libre. Todo lo que tienes es lo que eres, y lo que se das." ~~ Ursula K. Le Guin

Where would we be without our excellent dispatchers?!? The first step in the chain of survival is the most important and can make or break any emergency. Gratitude and appreciation! <3

All you essential workers out there still on the roads and the rest of you who have to go out--please keep this in mind! Mission Valley is already underwater and you probably know the other spots to be careful of. Everyone please stay safe and take the long way around!
