May 19-25, 2024 marks the 50th Anniversary of EMS Week. This year’s theme, “Honoring Our Past. Forging Our Future,” reminds us to acknowledge the foundational work of those who came before us, while also striving to build and lead the EMS system we envision for our future. In the 50 years since we’ve been celebrating EMS Week, our profession has made enormous strides in pre-hospital care, data collection, emergency management, and community-based healthcare. We’ve developed comprehensive EMS systems that are ready for any kind of emergency–seven days a week, 24 hours a day–whether or not that includes going to the hospital.

In honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week, take a moment to remember the federal, tribal, state, and local law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the safety and protection of our nation and its people. We stand in solidarity, recognizing the selfless service of law enforcement personnel and our colleagues who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

Public Statement Regarding Fire Station 201 Incident.

We had the pleasure of treating the incredible nursing staff at Rialto Post Acute Care Center and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center to a nice lunch to show our appreciation for all that they do! Your dedication and compassionate care make a profound impact on our citizens. Thank you for being true heroes.

The Rialto Fire Department wants to extend our deepest gratitude to the extraordinary nurses and staff at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. Your unwavering dedication and compassionate care truly make a difference in the lives of our citizens. Every day, you selflessly serve our community, providing vital medical assistance and comfort during times of need. Your commitment to excellence and tireless efforts do not go unnoticed. During this special week, we salute you, ARMC nurses, for your invaluable contributions to our community. Thank you for your selflessness, your dedication, and your tireless efforts. You are true heroes.

The Rialto Fire Department and first responders work to continually spread the message that children need to be supervised in and around water. The message has reached over 20,000 students in Rialto over the past decade and the drowning statistics have been reduced dramatically. But unlike most data, reducing the numbers isn’t enough, as each of these lives is incredibly valuable.

International Firefighters’ Day is a day to salute the men and women who help keep us safe, protect our property, our communities, and our wilderness...and to honor the men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty.

Wildfire Preparedness Day is a special community event encouraging people and organizations to come together on a single day and take action to reduce wildfire risks. Held annually in the U.S. and Canada on the first Saturday in May, the event is supported by the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®).

It’s that time of the year to create defensible space around your home or business by cutting back tree limbs and clearing anything that can burn away from your home or business.
