RIP Brother John. ๐ฅบIt is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Captain John Van Mannekes this morning just after 4:30am. John joined the department in May, 1996, and retired in July, 2017, to continue his hard fought battle with ALS. Please keep Rebecca, Jonathan, and Jamison in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. John was a dedicated father, husband, and Firefighter who held a deep passion for the Fire Service and a commitment to developing new Firefighters.
Our Fire Family grieves with many today, as John was well known and respected throughout the Fire Service. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Van Mannekes family now and always. Thank you, Captain Van Mannekes, for everything.
In Sympathy,
David Endaya, Fire Chief

On this night...18 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001.
In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

RIP Brother. We have it from here.We are deeply saddened to report that yesterday CAL FIRE firefighter Yaroslav Katkov, 29, suffered from a medical emergency while on a training hike with his engine crew and passed away this morning despite the diligent efforts of medical staff. He is survived by his mother, father and brother. He was assigned to the CAL FIRE / San Diego County Fire Station 16 in the community of De Luz.
Yaro was airlifted by the CAL FIRE / San Diego County Sheriff Department helicopter and air ambulance to Temecula Valley Hospital in Riverside County in critical condition.
Yaro started his career with CAL FIRE on August 18, 2018 as a seasonal firefighter. Please join me in keeping Yaro and his loved ones in your thoughts.
I am directing the lowering of flags at all CAL FIRE facilities to half-staff and for all uniform personnel to shroud their badges until further notified.

Stay Alert and Safe Out there. Drivers, please slow down and watch for pedestrians. Pedestrians, please pay attention and look around before you step onto a roadway.
Together we can help stop these tragic accidents. Our condolences to all involved.FATAL VEHICLE VS. PEDESTRIAN COLLISION IN OXNARD:
12:50am on Monday morning, June 10, Oxnard Police Department, Fire and Gold Coast paramedics responded to a vehicle collision at the intersection of Saviers Road and Thomas Road in Oxnard.
The collision was described as a vehicle versus a pedestrian. Fire arriving to the scene reported finding a male, who Oxnard Police described as a 45 year old Filipino man, laying unconscious in the roadway.
The patient was transported to Ventura County Medical Center where Oxnard Police said the man succumbed to his injuries.
Oxnard Police Department provided further information in a statement,
"Based upon preliminary investigation, the male was walking in a crosswalk across Saviers Road at the intersection with Thomas Ave. A gray Scion XB was northbound on Saviers Road.
Witnesses stated that the Scion was passing through a green light and the pedestrian had walked against a red light when the vehicle struck him. The driver of the Scion remained on scene and was cooperative with investigators. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in this collision.
Investigators are asking the public to come forward if anyone has witnessed this incident. The public is asked to contact Officer Mike Wood at (805) 385-7750. You can remain anonymous if you choose to do so.
You can also remain anonymous by calling the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
You can also visit this site: www.venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email."
Always stop and listen, as well.
๐จ๐ A great reminder for an emergency. Are you prepared, and ready to go? Make sure you have your essentials before you leave. Thank you CalFire for the education. ๐๐Including the six pโs in your kit works great, but one size does not always fit all. Make sure to spend a little extra time to take stock of those important items that are unique to you. For more tips, visit www.readyforwildfire.org/Emergency-Supply-Kit/
Pablo Macen I really need to get on this! All our old stuff is expired
Unimaginable....yet we are so thankful for the freedoms we have today because of them. ๐๐ปThey charged together toward unimaginable peril, wearing as much as 80 pounds on their backs. Their mission: to save humanity from tyranny.
On this 75th anniversary of D-Day, we honor the heroes who put their hearts and bodies on the line for each other and for the cause of freedom.
Rest In Peace, Brother Oliver. ๐Our hearts are heavy with sadness as today we lost our friend, our brother, Gary Oliver. A 27-year veteran of the Ventura County Fire Department, Gary was a respected firefighter and loved member of the VCPFA family. A great conversationalist, Gary was a guy that you looked forward to seeing at the kitchen table for shift change. Gary was at once resolute and conscientious; he knew himself and where he stood but respected and valued the thoughts of his brothers and sisters in the firehouse. A kind man, a gentle soul, a highly regarded and accomplished Fire Engineer, Gary our friend, our brother you left us too soon. We thank you and your family for sharing your life with us for nearly three decades. Rest in peace brother.

Great job!OXNARDโS FINEST - For as long as Mark Kupperman can remember, he always had a pineapple upside-down cake for his birthday. He even remembers his mother baking them for him when he was little. So Markโs wife Judy set out to bake him one of her acclaimed cakes for his 85th birthday party, which was to be celebrated the next day.
As she pulled open the oven door, she was met with a whoosh of smoke and flames rushing out. She managed to safely jump back. Mark grabbed the fire extinguisher but couldnโt get it to work. As Judy called 9-1-1, Mark ran to his neighborโs home for help and together they managed to extinguish the fire. Moments later the Oxnard Fire Department arrived, rushed in, made sure the fire was completely out, jettisoned the smoldering oven into the yard and ventilated the home.
While the crew from Fire Station 6 was cleaning up debris from the fire, the captain asked how the fire started. Mark explained that it was his 85th birthday and that they were about to bake the cake; he had no idea how it began.
Soon the firefighters said goodbye and left.
At 7:30 that evening, the Kuppermans heard a knock at their door. Standing outside were the firefighters from Engine 66 and Rescue 66 who had responded earlier. โItโs Markโs birthday and we wanted to make it a happy one for him,โ they said.
In their hands were two pineapple upside-down cakes adorned with candles shaped like an 8 and a 5. The firefighters also brought birthday cards and a balloon. They all sat down around the living room table and ate one of the cakes. (The second cake was for the party the next day). The firefighters explained that they found the recipe online, went to the store and bought the ingredients, then baked them in their firehouse oven, Mark said.
โThey were very thoughtful people,โ said Mark. โThey understood the result of that fire and how it pertained to me personally. They wouldn't do that job unless they loved the work."
Oxnard Fire Battalion Chief Nate La Russo commended his fellow firefighters.
โIt goes without saying that we are blessed to work with some amazing people,โ he said. โThis story highlights the compassion, dedication and service to our community that is inherent in the successful relationship of the Oxnard Fire Department with the community we protect.โ
Happy birthday Mark!
Omg you guys,are awesome! !!
OFD is AWESOME!!
Oxnard Fire. They are a great bunch of guys!
Hey guys - that cake looks good! What a thoughtful gesture.
Good looking out there y'all are dolls going the extra mile! You are love and adored.
