šŸ”„ Training Never Stops

A big thank you to Advanced Fire Control for coming out and spending time training with our members.

Quality hands-on training keeps our firefighters sharp, builds confidence, and helps us continue providing the highest level of service to our community.

We appreciate the instructors at Advanced Fire Control for sharing their knowledge, experience, and time with our crews. Thank you for investing in our members and helping us continue to improve our craft. Thank you to Ross Valley Fire for joining us!

Always learning. Always training. Always ready.

San Rafael Firefighters have deployed a single resource to assist with the Timber Fire, which is burning along Highway 1 near Big Sur and into the Los Padres National Forest. The fire is burning in very steep, unforgiving terrain.
Our Fire Line Paramedic is hiking into remote areas alongside hand crews, bulldozers, and other fire personnel, carrying a large fire line pack with additional Advanced Life Support equipment. In addition to supporting fire operations, they stand ready to provide medical treatment if anyone is injured in these remote locations.
Through mutual aid, we are able to assist neighboring agencies throughout California. The experience and knowledge our members gain on these large wildland fires is brought back to San Rafael, where it helps us keep our city and community safe.

Congratulations to Shawn Gordon on his promotion from Engineer to Captain!

Since joining the department in 2012, Shawn has been an invaluable member of our organization. For more than a decade, he has served as one of our most trusted and respected Engineersā€”bringing a wealth of knowledge, experience, and professionalism to every shift.

Shawn has been someone our members can consistently rely on, both on the fireground and around the station. His steady leadership and commitment to the job have made a lasting impact on countless firefighters throughout his career.

Weā€™re proud to see Shawn take this well-earned next step and know that the same qualities that made him an exceptional Engineer will make him an outstanding Captain.

Please join us in congratulating Captain Gordon on his promotion and this exciting new chapter!

A new seat, a new assignment, and a well-earned next chapter.

Engineer Beau Bergeron reported for his first shift at Station 56 B today following his recent promotion to Engineer!

Promotion to Engineer represents countless hours of training, preparation, and commitment to the craft. It also means taking on a critical role within the crewā€”responsible for the apparatus, the pump, and getting everyone safely where they need to be.

Weā€™re proud to see Beau step into his new role and officially join the 56 B crew.

Congratulations, Engineer Bergeron!

Last week, Engine 654 deployed as part of Strike Team 2140C to the Little Fire in Alameda County, joining firefighters from across California to help protect lives, property, and natural resources.

Through Californiaā€™s mutual aid system, local fire departments work together to provide resources wherever theyā€™re needed most during major incidents. Weā€™re proud of the members of E654 for representing San Rafael and supporting communities across our state.

Here are a few photos from their assignment. Great work, E654!

Yesterday afternoon, San Rafael Firefighters joined multiple agencies in responding to a hazardous materials incident in Novato.
Several San Rafael Firefighters assigned to the Marin County Hazmat Team, worked alongside partner agencies after a vehicle fire was extinguished. Initial crews discovered compromised chemical containers in the truck bed. Wearing full chemical protective suits and breathing apparatus, the team made entry, identified the substances, safely secured them for a cleanup company, and contained/neutralized all runoff.
Thanks to the rapid, coordinated response, a potentially serious situation was handled quickly and professionally.

The fire service has always been more than a just a profession. Itā€™s a family. And like most families, some of our best memories are made gathered around the dinner table.
Tonight, we celebrated Captain Garrett Northernā€™s final firehouse dinner before he begins his next chapter as Battalion Chief. It was a chance to share a special meal, reflect and thank him for everything heā€™s done from the front seat of the engine.
Weā€™ll miss having him in the company, but we couldnā€™t be more excited to see him lead in his new role. Congratulations, Chief! Hereā€™s to new beginnings and the next chapter.

The San Rafael Fire Department is proud to announce the department wide deployment of brand-new SCOTT SCBA packs, cylinders, facepieces, and RIT packs in the very near future .

This significant upgrade was made possible in large part through a regional Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG), helping ensure our firefighters have access to the latest life-saving respiratory protection equipment while serving our community.

A special thank you goes out to leading the effort in facilitating the grant process and coordinating the extensive logistics required to distribute this equipment throughout Marin County. Their leadership and partnership were instrumental in making this project a reality.

Regional collaboration like this strengthens the fire service and helps ensure firefighters across Marin County are equipped with the tools they need to operate safely and effectively.

Training alongside partner agencies helps prepare crews for complex water rescue incidents where coordination and communication are critical.

We appreciate the opportunity to train together and continue strengthening our capabilities on the water.
