I called 911 and they sent these wonderful guys from the fire department and AMR ambulance. They were at my house in 3 minutes I kid you not! There were like 10 of the young firemen and they were so sweet. They assessed the danger and helped me to breathe. After I was breathing better they would joke around. They seemed like a family of brothers. Very professional yet you felt safe with them. They talked to you as though they had been your friend all your life. They saved my life. Then this wonderful EMT man came over to me and gave me oxygen. His name was C.Styers and no I do not know his exact full name. He was a gentleman and very kind. He was gentle and respectful and caring. Through out the ride to the hospital this EMT man would talk to me with a soothing voice which automatically made me feel safe and believe that everything will be okay. C.Styers stayed with me and quickly got me into a room. Then he said good bye. He has a real connection between medicine and a patient. I was thankful for the help I received that day and very grateful.

This review is our GIANT THANK YOU to the Captain and his men for all they did to make our DAY. You firefighters are the ULTIMATE in what it means to SERVE your community. All of you touched our hearts yesterday, and we will NEVER forget it - or YOU! GOD bless AMERICA and our Kern County Firefighters - especially those at Station 41!!! Our County's FINEST!

Number one head to the Tehchapi Museum, and the second would be to enjoy a poor boy sandwich and ice tea at Kohnens. Those two things and you will have a perfect day. When I visited recently I had the good fortune of meeting Judith Reynolds, who is the museum director. I learned that the museum is run by the Tehachapi Heritage League and is solely run by wonderful volunteers. The docents work about one day a month for 4 hours and range in age from late 50's to 94 years young. I love that they have kept the admission free to the public, they wanted to make sure families could bring the kids and not worry about the price of admission. They do have a donation box and rely on the kindness of visitors, volunteers and grants to keep this museum up and running. You can join and become a member of the museum as I did for my family. It's 20$ for individual or 25$ for a family. People spend more than that on coffee a month, what a great way to keep Tehachapi history alive and available to everyone. With that membership you will receive a newsletter 4 times a year, it's called Settlers' Gazette. It tells about upcoming events for the museum and the Errea House Museum across the street. I was unaware of the events they hold here and now I will make sure my family doesn't miss any. Most of all the items on display are donated by families or on loan. Some of the exhibits include farming, railroad, local history, Native Americans and much more. I happened to really enjoy the display and story about Tony Anthony the fire chief for the old Tehachapi City Fire Department. I am part of a firefighter family and enjoyed looking at everything displayed. I also bought fire patches to add to our collection. In the back to the left is such a great gallery honoring the Kawaiisu people of the Tehachapi mountains. They have a movie playing that is really great to watch. There is so much more to say about the Tehachapi Museum it would take all night to write. Just please visit, learn, become a member and tell your family and friends passing through to stop and see what an amazing place Tehachapi is.

Alex is very responsive and his pricing is reasonable and fair. I would recommend Valhalla Fire Hazard Reduction over any other company in the area. I called around and left messages for several places, but either didn't hear back or their prices were unreasonably high. I had a great experience working with Alex and his team and even set up recurring future services with them as well! Can't recommend this company enough.
