April 8-14 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. We take this opportunity to celebrate our 9-1-1 dispatchers who answer the community’s calls for help, dispatch our crews and equipment, and render life-saving assistance to our citizens during their time of need. Pictured below are just a few of the amazing individuals who answer the community’s calls for help here in Roseville. Thank you to all of our dispatchers for their commitment to the profession, our department personnel and the citizens. Your role is crucial in the chain of survival for our community!

Congratulations to Dispatchers Denise Heinemann and Dena Quezada who were honored last night at the 22nd Annual OPST Banquet. Denise was honored as the Roseville Police & Fire Department 2018 Dispatcher of the Year and Dena as the Roseville Police & Fire Department Dispatch MVP. Both were chosen by their co-workers to receive these awards. Pictured here (left to right) are: Assistant Fire Chief Brian Diemer, Dena Quezada, Police Services Administrator Katie Braverman, Denise Heinemann, and Police Chief Jim Maccoun.

Please stay safe driving in this rainy weather! Remember: 1. Headlights on in the rain! It's the law, and it makes you more visible to other drivers. 2. SLOW DOWN and allow plenty of stopping distance between yourself and other vehicles. This is an especially bad time to tailgate. 3. Don't drive through flooded areas. It doesn't take much standing water to sweep a car away. 4. Keep an eye out for downed tree branches and other hazards. Visit our website for more storm safety tips: https://goo.gl/nDJtV7

Today Engine 1 and Truck 1 were at Woodbridge Elementary school teaching students about fire safety! Over 300 students learned these important lessons: - Stop Drop & Roll - Cool-A-Burn - Crawl Low & Go - Hug or High Five A Firefighter - Smoke Alarms Save Lives - Toys Vs Tools - When and How to Dial 9-1-1.

Effective training is the most important ingredient to the readiness of our firefighters to fulfill their assigned mission during incidents. Pictured here are members of our A shift completing a confined space training exercise.

The crew pictured below received this very kind thank you note from a resident that they responded to last month. Thank you to the resident for taking the time to express their appreciation. We are happy to be a part of and serve this community!

Thank you to the residents of Country Villa Mobile Home Park for having the crew of Engine 3 to your potluck event on Saturday to talk about safety and for gifting our firefighters with the thin red line flag! The Engine 3 crew discussed with residents safety topic including Vials of Life, what to do in a case of a fire, what to do if your CO or smoke detector keeps alarming and when to call 911.

Today’s Union Pacific siren test was just one of the ways that members of our community could be alerted to a possible emergency affecting them from the railyard. We encourage all residents to take the time and sign up for Placer Alert, a regional mass notification system, that is operated in partnership with Sacramento, Yolo, and Placer Counties. Placer Alert would only be used by officials during an emergency to notify the community of incidents such as an at risk missing person, evacuations orders, shelter in place, or other life threatening emergencies. Sign ups are free and easy, and can be done at the link below.

Reminder! The Union Pacific Railroad siren testing is happening today at 12:00 p.m.
