Here are the faces of those that are often heard and not seen. The ones that provide the essential function of connecting those needing help with emergency responders. Thank you!
They're the best. An integral part of every incident. Thank you. Retired - 09.
This week is National Public Safety Telecommunications week! Dispatchers often do not receive enough praise for providing the essential link between the community and fire, law enforcement and EMS agencies. It is a difficult job and we are proud of our colleagues at Bakersfield City & Kern County Fire ECC. You are truly the best in your profession. Your #KernCountyFirefighters appreciate everything you do!

To ALL
Former Local 1301 President Derek Robinson shares his story in a new book “Continue”. Thank you County of Kern, California for acknowledging the mental health factors of the profession of firefighting.
As the Kern County Fire Department continues to see an ever-increasing call volume while still being understaffed and underfunded. Physical and mental fatigue will continue to be a reality for our members.
Let's support our firemen they literally go through so much
Happy Easter to you all. Thank you for your work.
Feel Good Friday?? I bet Jesus didn't think so!.

Second alarm structure fire this afternoon, and now a second working structure fire just up the road. A busy day for #YourKernCountyFirefighters in the Lake Isabella area of Battalion 7.
Hope no one was. Injured.

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,
