OFF DUTY CAFMA CAPTAIN EVACUATES TWO DURING PRESCOTT HOUSE FIRE: This past weekend, CAFMA Captain and Health and Safety Officer Brody Fields was off duty and on his way to the gym with his wife, Taylor, when he spotted smoke near the Ponderosa Park area of Prescott. Without hesitation, he jumped into action.

Captain Fields arrived to find one side of a home actively on fire and light smoke inside. Acting fast, he called 911, conducted a search and helped safely evacuate two residents, one non-ambulatory, and helped seat them in chairs with blankets to keep them warm.

Taylor stayed with the residents, keeping them calm while Brody worked to secure their most important personal items, including eyeglasses, a cell phone, and the homeowner’s safe.

With Taylor's assistance, Captain Fields fought small pockets of fire using a garden hose, helping keep the flames in check until on-duty firefighters arrived. Once crews were on scene, Captain Fields provided a clear briefing and stepped back, letting the team take over.

CAFMA proudly recognizes Captain Fields and Taylor for their quick thinking, courage, and dedication to our community!

CAFMA recently hosted a three-day HAZMAT class focused on building the skills firefighters need to make safe, informed decisions during hazardous materials incidents, skills critical to protecting responders, the public, and the environment.

Participants learned proper identification of unknown substances in compliance with federal regulations and demonstrated their ability to quickly and safely identify many commonly spilled and abandoned hazardous materials.

This morning, CAFMA and Prescott firefighters quickly extinguished a house fire in the area of Ponderosa Park Road in Prescott. The fire is believed to have started in the fireplace and spread into the attic.

Firefighters made a coordinated attack and were able to stop progress, preventing further damage. Sadly, the residents were displaced but are being assisted by the Red Cross. No reported injuries.

Thank you to APS, Battalion Chief Moffit (Battalion 1), Life Line Ambulance, Prescott Fire Department, Prescott Regional Communications Center (Prescott Police Department), American Red Cross Arizona, and Yavapai County Sheriff's Office for their support.
