Richardson Citizens Fire Academy Alumni Association RCFAAA

The Citizens Fire Academy Alumni Association membership operates a department rehabilitation unit (Fire1 REHAB) to assist fire personnel during an emergency or training event. On-scene rehabilitation is important as it ensures our firefighters ability to do their job.

Fire 1 is dispatched at the Incident Commander's discretion to Fire Incidents, HazMat Incidents and Technical Rescue Incidents where hazardous conditions and overexertion may be an issue. It provides medical monitoring, food and fluid replenishment, and rest and relief from conditions created by extended emergencies and/or extreme temperatures and is utilized for Public Education purposes during city events.
