Car Fire
It's the middle of the night, usually, it seems around 2am is a good time for our night calls to happen but of course anytime is probable...we get toned out to a car fire. It is on the outskirts of our sector, off the road in a field just blazing as we arrive. I have all my gear on and am ready to jump out of the cab and grab a line when I realize that I don't have my helmet . We had been out during the day and I was driving the "beach buggy" and had my helmet next to me and forgot to put it back in the engine. Anyways, I asked to use John's helmet. It worked great but John had a good laugh when the pictures "He took" had himself putting out the fire! Pretty talented guy ... but we all already know that!!

Beach Fun = Beach Safety
When I was reading through the paper the other day I came upon this article of interest on riptides. I thought that it was a clear drawing and a simple explanation of signs to look for from shore. Swim with a buddy and be aware of your surroundings!
Here is a picture of one of the lifeguard towers being placed on the Hueneme Beach. Lifeguards are on duty during the day but we still must be our own best safety monitors!
