Central County Fire

In Loving Memory of Dena Gunning We are heartbroken to share that our Community Risk & Resiliency Specialist & CERT Program Manager, Dena Gunning, passed away suddenly last week. Dena’s dedication and drive were unmatched, always showing up with a smile, ready to get to work. Her community connections were far-reaching and genuine. She cared deeply about preparedness and believed that trained and connected residents make our cities stronger and more resilient. Dena leaves behind a loving husband, Sean, and their two children, Melissa and Michael. To help support the Gunning family during this difficult time, CCFD has established a GoFundMe account: gofund.me/3ab1e5fee and a MealTrain account: mealtrain.com/geq5em

TRUCK ACADEMY 🚒 Step inside the San Mateo County Truck Academy, where seasoned firefighters take their craft to the next level. 🔥 Despite the danger, these firefighters love this career. Each public safety professional has an unwavering desire to help, and the passion and compassion that fuels their every action. What is a Truck Company? It is a company that specializes in rescue, forcible entry, ventilation, and difficult extrications among other specialties. A ladder truck is essentially a giant rolling toolbox with a ladder staffed with firefighters who specialize technical and difficult rescues. 🪜🪓 We’d like to thank all of the instructors and guest instructors who work hard to put this complex academy together for the safety of our community and our first responders.
