The Robbin Mackbee Firefighter / EMS Youth Academy recently spent a Sunday receiving hands on training from the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation Fire Department in Brooks, CA. This is part of a new and exciting partnership between SFARY and the Yocha Dehe tribal community to support the team's efforts in developing future first responders in Northern California. Check out the article linked here for more details on the event and overall partnership. Thank you Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation!

Hands on learning is one of the most effective methods to reinforce learned skills. Firefighter Youth Academy Cadets put their skills to the test. They use the P.A.S.S method for fire extinguishment. Thank you Vallejo Fire Department for teaching and facilitating this remarkable experience for our cadets.

A new subprogram of the Firefighter Youth Academy has started this year in Vallejo, the Junior Wildland Firefighters. This program is focused on providing opportunities for a small portion of our cadets to explore the natural world through hiking and learn more about the various emergency response careers in the wilderness. Their first hike was last Sunday at Benicia State Park. These cadets woke up early on a Sunday morning to go experience nature and stay active. We are excited for what is to come of this new program!

Firefighter Youth Academy cadets from both Vallejo and Contra Costa went to the Oakland Museum of California recently. OMCA has a special exhibition dedicated to the ways fire is used culturally and environmentally by the indigenous peoples of California. Cadets learned about the importance of cultural burns at the exhibit and a panel discussion. Additionally cadets explored OMCA. Exposure to museums and different cultures is important and we are so thankful for the ability to attend!

Last Saturday cadets participated in the City of Vallejo Adopt-A-Block program. The RMFYA did a community clean up. Our cadets are committed to community service and inspiring others to do the same.

Another great day at academy. Cadets learned Fire Behavior and Science and they practiced the CPAT. Understanding the science behind fire is essential to extinguishing it. We place great importance on Academic Achievement and that includes learning every aspect of the Fire Service, including the science.
