“Our worst mistake? Allowing this filthy, dirty, back-body and mind- breaking job to be seen as safe, easy and glamorous.” - Brian Humphrey LAFD 🎥: @califieldlives
Initial reports that a victim was trapped on the second floor. Engine and Truck 41 went into rescue mode and searched the apartment. No victim found and no injuries to our firefighters.
You guys amaze me! We are so very fortunate to have Kern County Fire . I live in BVS, Tehachapi and on at least 2 occasions you have saved our homes and many lives by being so competent in your job to put down a fire before it’s takes everything we have. Thank you. ♥️
Awesome courage here but yeah there’s no need for 5 firefighters to be in the house at once. A team of two immediately inside and possibly two teams inside if you have the resources. But there should be a team of two getting the attack line ready to pump water at the same time. If there’s only 5 firefighters in no way should all of them be going inside
Awesome. No hesitation on his partner.
Another good training video on why does all the close calls happen on the west coast every time I watch a video. I don't know what the hell I was trying to do one thing I do see a problem with no attack lines on the ground to protect them or a backup line. The last time I checked firefighters not Fireproof.
Looks like he tripped on the 3rd guys NY tool. Great team work by FF 4 helping a partner out.
Thank you for everything you do. You are heroes and deserve to be paid and recognized for the sacrifices you make. ❤️🙏
Firefighters are the best!
Please keep safe!
Where’s the hose line? 1 3/4, 2 1/2 with 5 guys ??
Strong work Kern County Firefighters, IAFF Local 1301!
Thank you 🙏🚒

The way KCFD is headed, this county will be stacking body bags and having casket caravans soon. Its a shame thats what it takes for change and a nationally recognized safe working standards to be met.

I pray for the folks that live up there. My parents use to own property in the area.

Annual Fund-raising is Underway
It is time for our annual fund-raising drive. We will be reaching out to Kern County residents and businesses in the coming weeks to raise money for local, worthy causes. We will also be sponsoring a Business Directory consisting of fire prevention articles, emergency phone numbers and advertisements from local concerned business owners.
Although Local 1301 has been raising money for charities this way for 26 years, there are always reasonable concerns that these solicitations by phone are part of a scam. We want to ensure our members and the public that calls the may receive in the next few weeks are in fact legitimate and have been authorized and approved by the Local 1301 Board of Directors.
We want to thank everyone for supporting us this year. If you would like to donate, please click the link below to donate via PayPal.
