The fire’s not the enemy, complacency is. We don’t train easy. Recruits bleed and sweat for the badge long before the world sees it.

Captain Smith guides a fully “blacked-out” recruit into the maze to build trust in their gear and their ability to move through tight, entangled spaces. In a fire, smoke and extreme conditions can make visibility nearly zero, so success depends on trusting your training, not your eyes.

Kudos to our training team for shaping strong firefighters!

Sound up 🔉 Training saves lives. These search and rescue drills push our crews to move with speed and purpose, locating and rescuing a victim within two minutes of arrival. Don’t train easy, train for results when lives are on the line.

Last night, CAFMA and Prescott Fire Department crews responded to a structure fire at Cashmere Inclusive in Prescott Valley.

The first-arriving engine reported smoke and flames coming from the roof. The fire had begun to burn into the attic space, but crews quickly stopped the spread before it could extend further or impact neighboring units.

All units were unoccupied, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Thank you to Prescott Fire Department and Prescott Valley Police Department for their support on scene.

Fire recruits need to be prepared for the heat, stress, unpredictability, and intensity of the job long before they ever step foot on an engine to take a call. Tough training builds confidence, sharpens skills, and ensures they can make the right decisions at the right time.
