7582 welcome to the fleet! Keeping with tradition, we pushed in our new Type 1 on November 14. Station 2 – Larkfield will be the home of 7582 and is the first Fire Engine we have purchased since our consolidation in 2019. This new Pierce Enforcer Pumper has rollup doors to improve firefighter safety when responding to calls in tight areas like on freeways and narrow roadways. The rear short engine will store extrication equipment, a wildland hose and ladders. And a firefighter approved feature, comfortable crew cab seats that can recline for added comfort.

Check out this video from the push-in ceremony.

Thank you to all that came out to Coffee with Your Firefighters at Station 10 – Bodega Bay on Nov. 19. We enjoyed meeting everyone and all the great conversations on that beautiful sunny Bodega Bay Saturday.

Throughout the month of December SCFD will be participating in many holiday celebrations spreading cheer. If you see us out at an event near you, we would love to meet you and wish you a happy holiday season.
