Ever wanted to learn how to drive a ladder truck? 😅

Can't say we've ever seen a video like this on the internet. The City of Davis Fire Department is so awesome, they are giving free lessons out here! 😂

In all seriousness, huge shout out to these incredible firefighters who operate this incredible piece of technology on a regular basis. And to operate it under extreme pressure/in emergencies too!? Certified B.A.

If you are planning on traveling in the next few days remember that most of the state is in some form of weather watch/warning. From high winds and flooding in the valleys to blizzard warnings in the mountains.

Please be diligent on keeping up with current road and weather conditions and plan travel accordingly.

As December rolls on and people have had their trees up for weeks, it is easy to forget to water them. Remember a dry Christmas tree burns faster than newspaper. Keep your tree well watered this holiday season.

This video from the Consumer Product Safety Commission shows just how flammable a dry tree is.

Weekend driver training with C-shift. Helping with training new drivers is a great way for every member of the crew to work on skills and keep them fresh. This particular drill requires the driver to workout pump calculations of multiple lines in real time, all while maintaining the proper pressure in each line as more and more lines are being put in service.
