The Vista Fire Department is proud to announce that Foreman Jake Melcher is now qualified on Rescue 13!

Foreman Melcher completed the R-13 driver training by learning how to operate the pump panel, how to operate the extrication tools on the apparatus and completing 8 hours or more of "drive time" behind the wheel. Foreman Melcher will now move onto learning how to drive Engine 142.

The VFD is always looking for more drivers, whether it be for our Fire Apparatus or our Ambulances! If you're interested in serving the community and learning how to drive these emergency response vehicles please visit VistaFD.org!
