The training continues with our new recruits as they recently completed an intense live fire training day, putting their skills, teamwork, and decision making to the test through three operations. 🔥
Phase 1 - Flashover Container
Vent Over Fire
Multi - Company Drill
These evolutions provided our recruits with valuable hands on experience in a controlled live fire environment while reinforcing the importance of communication, coordination, and sound fireground operations.
A special thank you to El Camino Fire Academy and the West Covina Fire Explorers for their support in helping make this training possible. 💪🏻 #westcovinafirefighters #LiveFireTraining 📸: Fausto Garcia ... See MoreSee Less

25 years. 09/11/2001. Never Forget. We take a moment of silence to honor the firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, and civilians who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
They answered the call without hesitation and made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸 #neverforget911 ... See MoreSee Less

A throwback to where it all began. 🔥
Since 1951, the West Covina Fire Department has been shaped by the firefighters, apparatus, and defining moments that built the proud tradition we carry on today.
As members of WCFA Local 3226, we honor those who came before us and remain committed to protecting our firefighters, advocating for one another, and preserving the tradition of brotherhood, service, and dedication that has defined this department for generations. 💪🏻#ThrowbackThursday #wcfalocal3226 #fireservicetradition ...

West Covina Firefighters recently completed two days of IAFF Fire Ground Survival Refresher training. The fireground is unpredictable, which is why we continuously train for the unexpected. This course reinforces Mayday procedures and sharpens our systematic approach to self-rescue and the rescue of lost or trapped firefighters during a Mayday event.
Calling a Mayday is the starting point of rapidly initiating self rescue procedures after any life threatening condition has been identified and not resolved within 30 seconds.
When conditions can change in an instant, every second counts. 🔥
Train hard. Stay ready. Return home.
