What does completing 170 hours of training look like?
It takes a lot of heart and grit. That is Turbo, aka Michael Gonzalez!
Congratulations on helping make Southern Humboldt and particularly Fruitland Ridge a safer place.
We had a bit of a celebration for him.

TSUNAMI WATCH (yellow on map) in effect for U.S. West Coast. The magnitude of today's earthquake in Kamchatka has been revised to 8.7, and the larger magnitude means it displaced more seafloor and has the potential to create a potentially damaging tsunami. Here is the most recent information from the National Tsunami Warning Center. The first waves won't arrive on the Northern California Coast until a little before midnight. A WATCH means there is still time to make a determination of the potential hazard and decide whether a warning or advisory should be issued.

Nationwide, even big cities, trucks are aging out. Boston fire has firefighters responding in private pickup trucks because fire engines are out of commission.
Interesting article on how we got to this dangerous position.

These firefighters just wanted to save lives. Private equity had other ideas
