Battalion Chief Tony Hill, Firefighter Paramedic Jeff Jensen, and Senior Equipment Mechanic Jaime Aguayo took delivery of our new Cal-OES Type-VI Engine in Sacramento. Once it arrives in Ventura, it still requires a few computer additions and department-wide training before it’s ready for active service, but we’re so excited to have this very versatile tool as part of our crew!
When not staffed and deployed for the state-wide missions, it will be used locally, cross-staffed for suppression needs during river-bottom and urban interface fires, or up-staffed during red-flag or other inclement weather periods.
