Alameda Firefighters on OES E409 returned from the yesterday, however three firefighters remain assigned to other incidents. These include a Fireline-Paramedic and Equipment Technician Specialist on the and a Public Information Officer on the .

Extended hot and dry conditions throughout the western United States and major wildfire incidents across California have stretched resources thin. The Alameda Fire Department is proud to be a partner with CalOes to provide service to not only our City, but California as a whole.

Rest in Peace Oakland Firefighter Caeden Laffan. 🇺🇸

The Alameda Fire Department had the honor of joining agencies all over the county to provide City coverage for the Oakland Fire Department while their organization took time to honor and remember Firefighter Caeden Laffan.

The Fire Service is rooted in traditions - one of those being coming together to support each other in hard times. Just as Oakland Fire & the surrounding fire agencies banded together earlier this year to support AFD in our time of need, we are privileged to be there for them.

All this week, the Alameda Fire Department has been participating in a countywide High Rise Fire Training in the City of Berkeley.

This large scale training was hosted by the Berkeley Fire Department & Alameda County Training Officers and included instruction from Chief McGrail and his cadre from the Denver Fire Department.

Each day this week, two AFD companies attended the training that covers fire operations in high rise buildings. This has been valuable training that not only allowed crews to be instructed by some of the best in this field, but also allowed our crews to work alongside multiple Fire agencies throughout the county.

EMS Week 2024 - Did you know?

The Alameda Fire Department has been in the ambulance transport business since the late 1970's. This service commenced with a single ambulance staffed by two Firefighters/Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) who provided emergency transports within the City of Alameda. Since that time, the transport service has grown with the needs of the community to four full-time Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances.

Currently all apparatus and ambulances are staffed with at least one paramedic each, providing quick ALS service to all parts of the city.

The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division provides quality assurance and quality control for emergency medical first responder and ambulance transport services. This includes training, licensing and certification of emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Personnel follow guidelines developed by Alameda County Emergency Medical Services for the delivery of emergency medical and transport services, including specialized treatment and transport to definitive care. Personnel also provide community services including, but not limited to, blood pressure testing and CPR/AED instruction.

Weekend Ladder Training

This morning, the Alameda Firefighters from Fire Station 1 were participating in some training that involved throwing and placing all the ladders we carry on Truck 1. The Alameda Fire Department has two 100’ aerial ladder tiller trucks.

FUN FACT: Each truck carries a variety of ladders that equal a total of 204 feet of ladders.

These wooden ladders require lots of training and technique to deploy correctly and efficiently. Our firefighters are always looking for opportunities to train as well as learn more about the areas of the City we serve.

Earlier this month, the Alameda Fire Department conducted a Confined Space
Rescue drill with Coast Guard personnel aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Munro.

This drill at U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda aimed to prepare both Alameda Firefighters and Coast Guard personnel to mitigate an emergency where an injured person would need to be removed from confined spaces aboard a ship.

The Alameda Fire Department's Rescue 3 is equipped with various confined space and rope rescue equipment to assist our certified confined space rescue technicians in these types of emergencies. Rescue 3 is cross-staffed at Fire Station #3 and responds to incidents such as vehicle accidents with entrapments, water and dive rescues, and any sort of technical rescue.
