🎒National Preparedness Month is here.

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing steps you can take to help prepare your family and your home for a disaster. From making a family disaster plan and building an emergency supply kit to hardening your home and knowing where to get critical information, a little preparation now can make a big difference when disaster strikes.

Stay tuned to OCFA Division 4 and explore ocfa.org for more information.

From a special delivery to a special visitor.

This little one stopped by Station 21 in Tustin with her family to visit the firefighters who had the honor of taking part in her birthing story. Just a few weeks ago, after a successful home delivery, Engine 21 firefighters provided post-delivery care to both mom and baby. Kudos to mom and dad for doing such a great job with the delivery!

Reunions like these always bring plenty of smiles to the station. Join us in welcoming the newest addition to our Tustin community!

When an emergency threatens local residents or businesses, our work doesn’t always end when the immediate danger is over.

Last week, Engine 32 and Truck 32 responded to a traffic collision at a commercial building on Yorba Ranch Road, where a vehicle had struck a support beam for the building’s roof. Fortunately, there were no injuries and the driver was able to self-extricate. With the damaged support beam creating a potential structural hazard, OCFA firefighters went to work on a solution. Crews fabricated and installed two wooden support beams to stabilize the roof until permanent repairs could be made. Yorba Linda city building officials also responded to the scene to assess the structure and help the affected businesses reopen as soon as possible.

Sometimes the simplest moments—meeting a firefighter and taking home a fire helmet—can become memories that stick with kids for a lifetime.

OCFA joined the Tustin community for Sunset Market yesterday evening, where our firefighters and cadets greeted families, handed out helmets and stickers, and gave attendees an up-close look at the Truck 43 and its specialized rescue equipment. We also staffed an education booth, sharing fire and life safety information throughout the evening.

We love opportunities like these to connect with the communities we serve, build positive relationships with our youngest residents, and make learning about fire safety a memorable experience. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to make memories with us!

When it comes to wildfire, embers can find their way into very small openings. Attic, roof, foundation, and soffit vents help control heat and moisture in your home, but they can also provide an entry point for burning embers. Once inside, embers can ignite combustible materials and allow fire to spread into your attic or crawl space before flames ever reach your home.

You can harden your home against wildfire by covering vents with 1/8-inch non-combustible, corrosion-resistant metal mesh or replacing them with ember-resistant baffle vents. Be sure to regularly inspect vents for debris or damage, too.

Summer may be winding down, but the heat isn’t going anywhere just yet. If you’re hitting the trails, staying hydrated is an important part of staying safe.

Drink water before, during, and after your hike or outdoor activity. A general rule of thumb is 1 liter (32 ounces) of water per hour, per person.

A few more ways to prepare for a hike:
✅ Plan your hike to avoid peak heat hours.
✅ Wear comfortable, breathable clothing and sturdy footwear.
✅ Bring a backpack with plenty of water, snacks, identification, and a small first aid kit.
✅ Check the weather and trail conditions before heading out.
✅ Use the buddy system and let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to return.
✅ Stay on designated trails and choose a route that matches your abilities.

A little preparation and plenty of water can help you stay safe while enjoying outdoor activities.

OCFA joined our fellow first responders at OCSD Yorba Linda Police Services for National Night Out at the Yorba Linda Community Center. Battalion Chief Sultzer, along with the crews of Engine 10, Engine 353—one of our Type 3 wildland fire engines—and Patrol 10 spent the evening sharing fire safety information, handing out safety-related giveaways, and visiting with community members of all ages.

Thank you to OCSD Yorba Linda Police Services for bringing everyone together! We’re always proud to support our fellow first responders and grateful for every opportunity to spend time with our Yorba Linda community.

It only takes a few seconds each month, but it could save your life.

Make it a monthly habit to test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms by pressing the test button. While you’re at it, check the manufacture date—for detectors with lithium ion batteries, if they’re approaching 10 years old, it’s time to replace them. Working alarms provide the early warning your family needs to escape safely in an emergency. Smoke alarms should also be installed in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home.

✅ Keep walkways clear of clutter and tripping hazards
✅ Use non-slip mats and rugs
✅ Install grab bars and handrails where needed
✅ Keep bathrooms, hallways, and stairs well lit
✅ Wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles
