Please join us in congratulating and welcoming our newest graduating academy class, 26-1, who successfully completed their training at the Sunnyvale JFA this year! 🎉
Our 7 recruits worked hard for 18 weeks alongside recruits for Sunnyvale DPS, and emerged with excitement and readiness for their next step in the process: our in-house academy!
We are lucky to have this wonderful group joining our department. Be sure to give them your support or a wave 👋 if you see them out in the community!

Welcome to the Palo Alto Fire Department! 👨‍🚒🚨

During an exceptionally busy tour last week, Captain Dahl and his crew took a moment to celebrate one of Palo Alto's newest centenarians! It was a sweet moment that brought much-needed lightness and joy to everyone. 🎂🥳

From now through December 15, kids (and kids at heart!) are invited to drop off or mail their letters to Santa at any Palo Alto Fire Station, where our firefighters will make sure they travel safely to the North Pole. 🎅🚒💌

Spread the cheer, share the joy, and get those wishes in early! For questions, reach out to [email protected].
