Alhambra Volunteer Fire Department

This week’s firemen’s meeting was hands-on as they had the opportunity to train on auto extrication and vehicle stabilization.

It was a great training and important to the community that our fire department keeps up-to-date with the many new techniques that are being used by professional firefighters.

New members are always welcomed and will be trained.

If you are 18 or older, come join the Alhambra Fire Department and possibly make a difference in someone’s life.
