January 29, 2015
 

From Monday night at 1900hrs to Tuesday afternoon at 1300hrs, the Vista Fire Department was operating under a "standby" where a fully-staffed Engine crew and a fully-staffed Ambulance crew were ready to go in the event of an emergency during "Snowstorm Juno."

The members who participated in the standby spent their time taking part in the regularly scheduled Monday night drill on "Stair Chair & Stretcher operations" and practicing more on the new Ambulance!
