On September 14, 2021, Cambria Firefighters trained on pumping and pulling hose, the basics of the fire service. Although during the drought, we can’t flow water, we still keep our skills sharp by going through the motions and ensuring we’re ready to respond for our next fire. 

Firefighters are one of our first line of defenses when it comes to any emergency. When Cambria Firefighters are not running emergency and non-emergency calls, they are consistently training to make sure they are ready for the next emergency.
