On July 30, 2012 BCFD Rescue 40 received a 911 call for a male patient who had fallen off a cliff. Rescue 40 personnel treated him and managed his pain. The man’s children were with him during the accident. Commander Chavez approved the request to bring the children back to the station so their mother could pick them up. Lieutenant Keith Clark arranged for the Engine 40 crew to take the children to Tramway and Central and meet her. While the children were at the station they were given a tour and visited with the crew. The IAFF Local 244 honored Commander Mike Chavez, Lieutenant Keith Clarke, Firefighter Kevin McClellan, Paramedic Chase Sherman, Engineer Angel Alvarado and Firefighter Matt Caward for their professionalism and compassion.
