On Duty Firefighters
Over the last several days, 1301 board members were in Washington D.C. speaking with their elected representatives. Topics covered were: recognizing firefighter occupational cancer death, PFAS free PPE, health care for early retirees, and other issues directly related to the health and safety of today’s firefighter. Thank you Speaker Kevin McCarthyand Congressman David Valadao for taking time to listen to your firefighters.
Miguel was a 45 year old stellar human being, Father, and Engineer for Rancho Cucamonga Fire District. Diagnosed with Cancer last July he began a courageous fight that he would ultimately lose. Miguel had an unbelievable support system of family and friends, many of whom were co- workers. During his battle, Miguel and his family received loving care and support from The City of Rancho Cucamonga, Rancho Cucamonga Fire District and Rancho Cucamonga Firefighters local 2274. The City of Rancho medically retired Miguel 2 days prior to his death. Local 1301 members, with support from the Kern County Fire Department were honored to be apart of laying Miguel to rest.
Such a young soul take way to fast, it’s just heartbreaking. What a tribute to this great person. I love seeing Fire family come together from all over. Seeing my dad and brother being together for such a cause sure hits home. 🫶❤️🚒

Beautiful service!! Miguel was one of the firemen/paramedic that came to our house when my husband fell ill. We knew Miguel from church!! I believe it was in 2007. When I saw him I felt good, and of course he greeted us with his big beautiful smile and a hug!!! 🥰
Very awesome KCFD came down to show support. 👏
May his memory be for a blessing

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.
