The Fire Dudes Llc W: www.thefiredudes.net The strength and unwavering willpower of our nation's firefighters are unparalleled, as they courageously face daily challenges to ensure our safety in the face of unpredictable fire disasters. These dedicated individuals risk their lives selflessly, embodying resilience and valor in every emergency response. They stand united in their mission, transcending barriers of color, race, and creed to protect communities nationwide. Every day, firefighters bravely confront perilous situations to safeguard lives and property, often making split-second decisions under intense pressure. Their commitment extends beyond duty, exemplifying compassion and heroism in the face of danger. Tragically, many firefighters have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, leaving behind legacies of courage and service. As a community, it's paramount to honor and support our firefighters, recognizing their indispensable contributions to public safety. By standing together and supporting organizations like the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), we can provide assistance to families of fallen firefighters and ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten. Let's rally behind our brave firefighters and contribute to the NFFF to uphold their legacy of courage and uphold their legacy of courage and selflessness.

The US Senate is considering grants totalling $134 million for critical infrastructure upgrades to public safety communications systems. The Tri-State area, covering Arizona's Mohave County, southern Nevada's Clark County, and eastern California's San Bernardino County, is applying for a grant to upgrade their 911 communications systems. This effort has the full support of Arizona Fire Chiefs, Police Chiefs, the Mohave County Board of Supervisors and Elevation Gold. As a rural region with challenging terrain, effective communication is vital for their first responders' safety and efficiency. San Bernardino is the largest county in the US by area, and Mohave County is the fifth largest, making the need for reliable 911 systems even more critical. Our current system is outdated, and it's unfair to expect first responders to risk their lives without proper communication support. At Elevation Gold, we understand the importance of robust communication systems, especially from our experience in #mining. We fully support the Tri-State Fire Chiefs and Police Chiefs in their request for funding a new 911 system to ensure the safety and security of our communities. In the picture below you can see Joe Bardswich from Elevation, with Fort Mojave Mesa Fire Department members.

Faced with increasing wildfire threats, communities like Placerville, California, are taking proactive steps to ensure safety through evacuation preparedness planning. Led by DKS, the Greater Placerville Wildfire Evacuation Preparedness, Community Safety, and Resiliency Study offers a comprehensive approach to understanding local risks, creating coordinated evacuation plans, and enhancing public safety. This collaborative effort, involving multidisciplinary teams and community engagement, provides a model for other at-risk areas to follow. Discover how Placerville is becoming a fire-adapted community and read more about the process and outcomes in our latest article: https://lnkd.in/gDzjZ54e #WildfirePreparedness #CommunitySafety #DKSAssociates #ResiliencyPlanning

"Let's be clear — natural disasters have a disproportionate and devastating impact on Black communities and it is our duty to ensure that they are not left behind in the aftermath.” Today we honor the inspiring life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reaffirm our commitment to equity, equality, and social justice. In September, the NAACP and FEMA took a crucial step in this commitment by signing an agreement to outline ways both organizations will work collaboratively to center equity in disaster preparedness and response. But we have more work to do. This action should be emulated by all levels of government and all of humanity, everywhere. #WholeCommunity means WHOLE community, and we must take the necessary steps to practice this approach to #emergencymanagement equitably.

How prepared is your family to evacuate should a wildfire affect your home and community? Here are some helpful tips to ensure you are ready for such an emergency situation. https://lnkd.in/eZh5pd_Y #wildfires #temporaryhousing #insurancedisplacement #housingsolutions

Firefighting is a critical aspect of disaster response, with fires posing significant risks to life, property, and the environment. Despite professional services, there's a strong argument for mandatory firefighting training for all citizens. Such a mandate could enhance community resilience, reduce loss, and foster solidarity. Empowering individuals with skills to combat fires creates a culture of preparedness and mutual aid, benefitting everyone. #Firefighting #CommunityResilience #DisasterResponse

#rural places face distinct challenges during #disasterrecovery. Planning and permitting capacity is a common one...in Texas, communities impacted by last week's #wildfire build relatively little #housing, but now need to build hundreds of units. https://lnkd.in/dYPuierY

The Park Fire continues to rage across over 421,000 acres and is 34% contained -- which is the result of a remarkable amount of work. We are very concerned about reports of entrapments of firefighters who are already working under horrific conditions. This megafire is a monster. Watch the video and witness the vortex (firenado) and then imagine fighting it under this heat. This is the Era of Megafire. "Operations Chief Mark Brunton told firefighters in the morning briefing that Mill Creek and Deer Creek remain the focus. He told the crews that they had had some equipment burnovers and that fire behavior was unprecedented and they need to have situational awareness and to be "hypersensitive about it." "Talking to a lot of people that have been around fires for quite a while — myself included is the fact that this is the kind of fire behavior that is unprecedented," he said. "We haven't seen ... I mean for this fire to jump up in the top five most destructive fires in California's history has said something and you're seeing it out there. So it's time to maintain that sit Night operations chief Eric Schwab said that a firing operation was started last night in the area of Highway 36 and 172 in an attempt to cut the head off. The ParkFire has burned 107,116 acres in the Lassen National Forest. Monday's fire activity forced some evacuation warnings to be upgraded in the area east of Mill Creek.

I didn’t want to be someone who just thinks about extreme weather. When working on insurance and wildfire at the systems level, I was feeling too far from what happens on the ground—how will I help when something actually does happen? As Juliette Kayyem said in my crisis management class, “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.” So, as soon as I got back from grad school, I started looking for ways to gain more tactical skills so I can be an asset at the community level👷♀️ Most big cities have FEMA curriculum led Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs). https://lnkd.in/gwk2Uhcg In Portland, we have one of the biggest in the country called Neighborhood Emergency Teams (NET) and I just finished 30 hours of training to volunteer deploy and support emergency services in the face of disasters. 🧯Fire safety ⛑️ search and rescue 🩹triage 🚑 first aid 🔧 utility shut off, and importantly 🫂 psychological support of victims are all elements. It brushes the surface of what expert first responders do, but I built community and skills that took away some of the fear and distance from the problem and turned it into empowerment and connection. Every little bit of forethought matters and I believe in the people-power we build together.
