The Orleans Volunteer Fire Department is located in Orleans, California, in the ancestral territory of the Karuk and Yurok peoples. Since 1963, our all-volunteer team has provided fire protection and emergency medical response to the communities of Orleans, Somes Bar, Weitchpec, and in between. Officially incorporated in 1968, we are now celebrating our 50th year of serving our community.

Exhausted and exhilarated at the level of investment this group of students and EMT's/Paramedics (some proctors were unavailable for the picture) gave to this class.

The 170 hour state curriculum was mostly self study with meet ups for skills but no lecture. 24 hours of clinical time. 2 intense days at mid-terms and 2 intense days for finals. All to volunteer in their extremely rural communities.

Congratulations to all!

Special thank you to our role players, proctors, photographer, Fort Jones Fire Department and Valley Towing. Valley Tow donated 3 cars, the space and time for our extrication day.
