Engine 11....American Canyon Fire Protection District, California
Some of my best memories of working in the Fire Service was working for and with the American Canyon Fire Protection District. American Canyon is just North of Vallejo, California in Napa county.
I worked as a reserve for many years and then was picked up as a full time permanent firefighter. There were a lot of great people that worked there and it was in AmCan that I received my initial fire and EMS training. We were encouraged to go to school and so I did, achieving my California state Fire Officers Certification.
Later on a went to work for Vallejo Fire Department which is a whole other story..... I loved working for Vallejo Fire, some of the greatest guys and gals I ever worked with !
Wishing all the best to the professionals who work in the fire service, EMS and police at this time of great civil unrest. Be safe and remember to be courteous and professional......
