I am deeply saddened to report that yesterday CAL FIRE firefighter Yaroslav Katkov, 29, suffered from a medical emergency while on a training hike with his engine crew and passed away this morning despite the diligent efforts of medical staff. He is survived by his mother, father and brother. He was assigned to the CAL FIRE / San Diego County Fire Station 16 in the community of De Luz.Yaro was airlifted by the CAL FIRE / San Diego County Sheriff Department helicopter and air ambulance to Temecula Valley Hospital in Riverside County in critical condition.Yaro started his career with CAL FIRE on August 18, 2018 as a seasonal firefighter. Please join me in keeping Yaro and his loved ones in your thoughts.I am directing the lowering of flags at all CAL FIRE facilities to half-staff and for all uniform personnel to shroud their badges until further notified.Chief Thom PorterCAL FIRE Director

This morning L2881 representatives met with Supervisor Washington to discuss firefighter staffing, county policy, and public saftey. Later in the afternoon we met with management to discuss the various ongoing concerns in the unit. This evening we were happy to support the Riverside County Professional Firefighters Benevolent Fund as they were honored by the City of Indio. . . . #Firefighter #IAFF #CPF #L2881 #UnionStrong #CalfireL2881 #TakingCareOfOurOwn #StrengthInUnity #L2881DistrictVI #cityofindio@calfirel2881 @RiversideL2881https://www.rcpfbf.com/

Wendi Miller, Fire Captain CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire DepartmentHelp support our sister Wendi Miller in her fight with cancer! There are many unexpected expenses that come with fighting cancer. Unfortunately many of these are not covered by insurance. To help offset these costs an In-Kind fund has been established. The funds raised will help Wendi cover the costs associated with her care, treatment and recovery. Working together we can support an amazing individual who lives a life of service!!
