Day- 3
YFA 26-1 spent their morning at Station 45 with WSFD’s EMS instructors teaching CPR and basic first aid to our cadets.

Cadets competed against each other doing a hose relay and “mop bucket soccer” where they got to practice their hose unrolling/coupling skills and hose handling.

Cadets extinguished live fire with fire extinguishers and continued perfecting their SCBA and PPE for time evolutions. This group has really come together as a team to accomplish their common goals.

YFA 26-1 was out at WSFD’s Training Tower all day on Day 2. Cadets were introduced to ladders, flowing 1 3/4” and searching for victims. Cadets learned about donning and doffing PPE, wearing their SCBA, and worked on tying knots.

A big thank you to E45, T45 and BC45 for coming to the tower to perform a full speed structure fire evolution for cadets. Cadets were able to see how all the basic skills they’re learning this week coalesce seamlessly so that the West Sacramento Fire Department continues its tradition of utmost professionalism and customer service to our community.

West Sacramento Fire Department’s Youth Fire Academy is celebrating 10 years, with 10 academies led by Engineer Jen Almaguer, Engineer Ryan DePaepe and their incredible team of instructors.

We welcomed 20 cadets for the first day of Youth Fire Academy 26-1!

Team building starts Day 1; instructors and cadets introduce themselves to each other, and company leaders are selected. It’s remarkable how much trust and connection is built between our Youth Fire Academy instructors and cadets in just 1 week.

Cadets were welcomed by Fire Chief Steve Binns and Deputy Fire Chief Mark Cullison. They learned about the fire service, different types of calls and apparatus, and toured Station 45. Cadets were issued their PPE (personal protective equipment), learned basic knots, and fire hose basics.

Today is National Heatstroke Prevention Day

Every year, children are seriously injured or lose their lives from vehicular heatstroke, and it can happen faster than most people realize. Even on mild days, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously within minutes.

Here’s how we can protect our kids:
• Never leave a child alone in a vehicle, not even for a minute
• Check the back seat every time you park, make it a habit
• Keep cars locked when not in use and store keys out of children’s reach
• Place a reminder item (like your phone, bag, or shoe) in the back seat
• Act fast! If you see a child alone in a car, call 911 immediately

Heatstroke is preventable. Awareness saves lives.

In the afternoon of March 12, crews responded to a vegetation fire on the west side of the Port’s turn around basin. Upon arrival it was discovered that an obviously habitable structure illegally built in the dense vegetation was fully involved. Crews stretched hundreds of feet of hose line and utilized pumps to draft water from the deep water channel to extinguish the fire. Thankfully, no person was injured due to the fire, but upon the fire’s extinguishment, an investigation of the area discovered many occupied homeless camps in the general area. The Fire Marshal was notified to address the high risk of the populated area in the dense vegetation as it presents a large potential for future fires. Fire’s Community Risk Reduction Division will continue working with Police Department staff and the Port to address the matter.

On Wednesday, March 11th, WSF units responded to Courtyard Village Apartments for a reported structure fire in an upstairs apartment.
Engine 41 (E41) arrived on scene to find the upper apartment fully involved with fire. Crews quickly deployed hose lines and initiated an aggressive fire attack while additional arriving units supported suppression efforts. Firefighters utilized ground ladders to access the roof and performed vertical ventilation to release heat and smoke, allowing crews to more effectively get water on the fire and bring it under control.
All occupants were able to safely exit the building prior to firefighters’ arrival. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. A total of ten residents were displaced as a result of the fire. The apartment manager stated that other units within the complex may be available and will work on getting the families housed. The Red Cross was also contacted and assisted the displaced residents for the night. Multiple West Sacramento Fire Department crews operated on scene, with additional assistance provided by the Sacramento Fire Department. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
