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.

To the firefighter dads who continue to show up, even after a long shift and balance the demands of this profession with the responsibilities of fatherhood, thank you. The sacrifices you make often happen behind the scenes, but they never go unnoticed. Thank you for the unwavering commitment you show both at home and on the job. 💪🏻🔥
Happy Father’s Day 👔
