She is a wonderful ambassador for the BHFD. She was our tour guide and gave our family a very thorough tour of the main station house in BH. She was super patient, easy-going, and friendly! We were lucky to have her give us a tour! Our son got to "play" inside an ambulance, fire engine, and a fire truck. He was on cloud nine! They offer tours from 10 AM to 11:30 AM and 1 PM to 4 PM. Take a tour, you won't regret it!

So, what did I do? I grabbed my kid and my phone, dialed 911, and ran the f*#& outta there! The 911 dispatcher sent the call to the Fire Department. As I was waiting on my front lawn, I started to get nervous. I kept checking my kid, but he seemed fine. I kept checking my own pulse, but it was racing from the sprint I just ran and the anxiety taking over. I knew carbon monoxide was odorless and colorless. Had we been breathing in that stuff for hours? For days? Was my new headache and nausea from the killer fumes? Exactly when was I going to pass out and/or die? All the horrible scenarios raced through my head and I started to prepare myself for the worst. Within minutes, the fire department rolled up. No sirens. No excitement. Just 4 burly firemen jumped out and casually went inside. I waited outside, anxious to hear just how bad it was. About a minute later, one of the guys came out and told me to come inside. "Ma'am", he said, "your alarm battery is dead, that's why the alarm went off". WTF? No regular warning? No beeping, like in normal smoke detectors? Just a crazy robot voice telling me to leave the premises or I might die!!! I apologized to the 4 firemen, but they were very cool about it. They even changed my batteries for me. I kidded that I know who to call the next time I need some batteries changed, but I don't think they appreciated the joke. They played with my kid until one of their badges poked him and he started to cry. Then they gave my kid a fireman sticker and took off. The Costa Mesa Fire Department. Good people who are there to fight fires and save lives. Just don't call them when you need to change a battery.

In Los Angeles, LAFD always answered requests for neighborhood assist. Badge 107 replied "we are not LAFD we don't do neighborhood assist". That means Costa Mesa Fire Department does not care if there are members within their community who are disabled and in need of help and completely defeseless. They DO NOT CARE to help disabled. The attitude of badge 107 made it clear he considered disabled people and helping disabled people to be beneath him and a completely worthless task. he refused to give his name and only gave his badge number but I would like to find out who this man is and teach him that disabled citizens are people too!

I have reviewed the Redondo Beach CERT and a couple of their stations but I have yet to review the RBFD until today. This past Sunday I was sitting in my home and heard a big thud. It sounded like someone dropped a pallet of wood but it wasn't. It was a drunk driver that ran into a VW Bug and flipped over. When I came outside she was trying to get out but she was unable to do so then she decided to start the car and flee...only problem the car was on its side. It only took a minute or two for the FD and police to arrive. The FD was able to get her out after securing the vehicle with cribbing then the paramedics got her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital and then most likely to jail. The fire department here is great all of them are also trained paramedics and it is nice to have help when needed even if you don't want it.
