In the Kern County Fire Department, fire station personnel work a minimum of 48 hours per shift. This means that most things done in a typical household are also done by firefighters while at the fire station. For example, making their beds, mowing the lawn, and going grocery shopping (as shown here with Station 63’s crew). The crew stays together while at the store so they are ready to respond, if an emergency were to happen while they are there. If they don’t get called to an emergency, they checkout, using their own money, split the bill evenly, and head back to the station to start cooking! #kerncountyfiredepartment

@cal_oes Strike Team 5809C is strategically positioned at the top of the Cajon Pass, ready to assist local resources if needed. KCFD is proud to staff 3 of the 5 engines. The remaining 2 engines are staffed by Tulare County & Kings County firefighters. These assignments allow us to work with other great departments. The lessons learned are brought back to better serve Kern County communities. | KCFD Battalion Chief Whittington is acting Strike Team Leader. This will be his 13th STL assignment in addition to 15 assignments with Type-1 Incident Management Teams. #kerncountyfiredepartment #mastermutualaid

Thank-you Discovery Elementary for inviting us to be a part of your school carnival. We enjoyed meeting all the "characters" and firefighter Davidson liked quizzing the kids if they know what to dial in case of an emergency? #kerncountyfiredepartment

A 48 hour shift was nearly complete for KCFD firefighters when the call to action went out yesterday. The mission was to assist a flood of other agencies, to battle the #TickFire | The 5 Type-3 engines seen here came from various communities in Kern County. E357, normally stationed in Frazier Park, is pictured providing water for firefighters as they work to keep the forward progress of the fire in check. #kerncountyfiredepartment

Of all the memories a firefighter trainee will create, these three are certainly memorable: Learning to memorize the features of your equipment.. receiving the approval of your peers and earning your shield.. and doing the dishes after dinner because you lost at a simple game of cards, AGAIN. #kerncountyfiredepartment
