It was a busy few days for C shift at South Placer Fire. On day 1 crews were dispatched to a vegetation fire off Cavitt Stallman that was threatening a home and cell tower. SPFD crews recognized the area from previous trainings and knew which addresses would provide the best access. SPFD along with allied agencies were able to keep the fire to 5 acres and prevent any damage to the house and cell tower. The cause is under investigation.

On day 2, SPFD was dispatched to a working vegetation fire started by mowing dead grass. Two homes were under immediate threat and Placer County Sheriff began evacuation notices due to the potential of the incident. Crews were able to keep the fire to 4 acres and no homes were damaged.

PSA: if you NEED to mow, make sure it’s in the early morning and avoid the hottest part of the day. All it takes is one spark.

The firehouse kitchen table isn’t just where you eat, it’s where firefighters are made.

It’s where probies get humbled, stories get exaggerated, and mistakes are remembered forever.

It’s where you’ll get roasted harder than the station coffee if you screw something up, but it’s also where the same guys giving you hell would walk through fire for you without a second thought

You won’t find leadership manuals at the table, but you’ll find chipped coffee mugs, bad jokes, questionable meals, and solutions to all of the world’s problems.

It’s where tradition lives, calls get replayed, laughs are had, and every Firefighter earns a seat.

The best training isn’t always on the drill ground. Sometimes it’s the senior Jake telling the probie “Sit down, let’s go over a few things.”

If you’ve never experienced the Firehouse table for a meal it’s hard to understand. But if you have, you know the hardest part of leaving the job is leaving that table…
