Sundays are for family—and in the fire service, that means both the ones at home and the ones on the line.

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to bring those families together to celebrate Fire Captain Scott Balentine, our Aromas Tri-County Firefighter of the Year. Moments like these remind us that behind every call, every response, and every long shift, there’s a strong network of support that makes it all possible.

Traditions like this run deep—long before any of us started our careers—and we’re proud to carry them forward for the next generation.

Congratulations, Captain Balentine, and thank you to all the families who stand behind our firefighters every day.

Our firefighters are staying busy today as we’re seeing incident activity begin to ramp up across the area. Crews remain actively engaged and ready to respond, ensuring the safety of our communities.

As you’re out and about, please remember to slow down, stay alert, and proceed with caution around working incidents. Your awareness helps protect the men and women operating on the front lines.

Together, we can keep everyone safe.

🚒 Future Leaders Visit the Firehouse 🚒

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming a great group of local scouts to the station for a hands-on look at fire service operations. The scouts had the opportunity to learn about the tools and equipment firefighters use on a daily basis, explore our apparatus, and get an up-close look at some of the small tools that support emergency response.

One of the highlights of the visit was a hands-on training demonstration with fire extinguishers, where the scouts learned the basics of fire safety and how to properly operate an extinguisher using the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).

We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with our community and help educate the next generation about fire safety and emergency response. Thank you to the scouts and leaders for visiting us — we hope to see some future firefighters in the group! 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

Training the next generation of firefighters doesn’t stop at the classroom door.

Today, cadets from the Monterey Peninsula College Fire Academy visited our Aromas Station to work on manipulative skills as they prepare for their upcoming midterm evaluations. Hands-on training like this helps build the confidence, teamwork, and muscle memory needed to perform on the fireground.

CAL FIRE is proud to continue supporting the Monterey Peninsula College Fire Academy and helping develop the future of the fire service.

Roadway responses are some of the most dangerous calls we run.

Limited visibility. High speeds. Distracted drivers.
And sometimes, heavy smoke that makes it worse.

If you see emergency crews on the shoulder:

➡️ Move over if possible
➡️ Slow down significantly
➡️ Stay off your phone
➡️ Give responders space

Your awareness keeps everyone safe — including you.

Big smiles, great questions, and future firefighters in the making 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒💪
Thank you to the students, staff, and families for the warm welcome and support.

Community outreach. Education. Inspiration.

🚒 Incident Update – North Monterey County 🌧️💨

CAL FIRE crews remain on scene of a vegetation fire in North Monterey County near Hall Road. Despite significant rainfall in the area, strong winds contributed to fire spread, pushing the incident to approximately 2 acres.

This serves as an important reminder that even during wet weather, wind and receptive fuels can still lead to vegetation fires. Firefighters will continue to work toward full containment and patrol for any remaining hot spots.

Please continue to use caution and report any signs of smoke or fire.

🌧️ Rainy weather is in the forecast, and with the holidays approaching, now’s the time to get ahead of it. A little preparation today can help prevent problems tomorrow and keep everyone safe.

Get Your Home Ready:
✔️ Clean out gutters and downspouts to keep water flowing away from your home
✔️ Tie down or store outdoor furniture, decorations, and loose items
✔️ Clear nearby storm drains if it’s safe to do so

Get Your Vehicle Ready:
✔️ Check tires, brakes, lights, and windshield wipers
✔️ Allow extra travel time for slick roads and increased holiday traffic

Stay prepared, stay alert, and enjoy a safer holiday season.

Across California, CAL FIRE does more than fight wildfires — we partner with local communities to deliver full-service emergency response.

Our team protects 31 million acres of State Responsibility Area, responding to everything from structure fires to medical emergencies. Beyond that, about 115 cities and counties statewide choose to contract with CAL FIRE for their local fire and EMS needs.

These cooperative agreements vary from providing dispatch services for volunteer departments to serving as the primary municipal fire agency — complete with paramedic ambulances, hazardous materials units, and support for local Offices of Emergency Services.

The firefighters you see in CAL FIRE uniforms may very well be the firefighters protecting your hometown. And together, these partnerships strengthen California’s readiness with more staffing, more stations, and a unified approach to any emergency that comes our way.
