Today is NATIONAL FIRST RESPONDERS DAY that honors the brave individuals who are first on the scene in emergencies. This includes firefighters, police officers, paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and other professionals who risk their lives to protect and save others during disasters, accidents, and critical incidents.

This day is dedicated to recognizing the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices made by these responders, acknowledging the physical and emotional challenges they face on the job. It also raises awareness about the importance of supporting these individuals, both in terms of mental health resources and access to the best equipment and training.

Thank you to the first responders that CCADT collaborates with to help the pets arrive safely!

When not volunteering with CCADT, she has been a valuable employee at Kaiser Permanente for over 20 years and is a music minister at St Therese Catholic church in Fresno.

Rose also loves to practice hot yoga and spend time with family and friends. She is a fur momma of a beautiful Tortoiseshell cat, Chanel Bell.

Until her first deployment, Katie is a Mom of 4, loves any outdoor activity, including hiking, camping and kayaking. She also love plants and succulents, and grows a garden some years.

Happy Birthday to Ed from Mariposa County, a volunteer of two years! Inspired by a print media article, Ed joined CCADT with a passion for helping animals, and his commitment has made an impact.

Shortly after his training, Ed deployed to the Oak Fire in July 2022, which burned 19,233 acres, and to the Fork Fire in Oakhurst in September 2022. That fall, he also educated the public at our CCADT information booth during the Oakhurst National Night Out. Most recently, Ed cared for displaced animals at the French Fire, which started on July 4th and took training on Shelterly, and educated the public at the Mariposa Safe Families Emergency Preparedness Event.

Ed, thank you for your dedication to making a difference in our communities. May your special day be a wonderful celebration reflecting your compassionate heart.
