The past three months have been busy and productive for the Victorville Fire Department.
The annual budget has been finalized and adopted, ensuring our resources are aligned with operational priorities. Planning for Fire Station 313 continues to move forward. The conceptual drawings are in progress, and an architect has been awarded the project following a competitive RFP process.
Tower 8 began on July 21 with six Firefighter Paramedic recruits. Over a nine-week training program, they will develop the skills needed to serve our community. Their graduation is scheduled for September 11, after which they will join the floor and begin serving the residents of Victorville..
The USAR Team recently hosted an all-risk demonstration showcasing the skill and readiness of our specialized rescue capabilities.
Engineer testing is underway, and all candidates have successfully passed the first phase. Congratulations to each of them for their dedication and preparation.
The Frontage Incident burned 68 acres adjacent to Cemex and took four days to contain. This incident stretched our resources and was supported heavily by our mutual aid partners. A special thank you goes to our administrative staff for their exceptional logistical support during this complex incident.
I am proud of the remarkable impact our firefighters make on this community every day. Thank you to our crews for your dedication and professionalism, to our administrative staff for keeping operations running smoothly, and to City leadership for your unwavering support of our mission. 3 R D Q U A R T E R

Tower 8 has officially graduated and hit the floor! Their block testing schedules are in place, and they will be training hard over the next several months to build on their foundation.
Engineer testing was completed in August. Congratulations to Engineer Aivazi and Engineer Craven for successfully passing their testing and promoting.
The HazMat program is finalizing the equipment loadout for HazMat 314 (HM314) supported by a significant FY 25/26 budget investment. Battalion Chief Espinoza will assume the role of Program Director moving forward.
Rescue 311 and HM314 have been added to our fleet (repurposed squads), providing flexible deployment platforms for specialized response.
