Last week our crews participated in Rope Rescue Operations training at Station 38 and along the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River. The hands-on training focused on strengthening technical rescue skills, teamwork, and operational readiness in challenging environments.
A huge shout out to John Brenner and Ryan Carlson for organizing and conducting an outstanding training experience. We also appreciate the participation and partnership from members of CAL FIRE Amador-El Dorado Unit and Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Tribal Fire. Working and training together makes our communities safer.

Sunday, our crews took time to sharpen their skills and refresh critical knowledge ahead of fire season.
The hands-on training focused on the proper use and deployment of fire shelters—an essential, life-saving tool used as a last line of defense in extreme wildfire conditions.
From rapid deployment drills to real-time decision-making, our crews will continue to train daily on essential firefighting skills and tactics to stay ready for whatever this fire season brings.
