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.
The RCFAAA provides an annual scholarship to a dependent of an active Richardson Fire Department member. We provide funding for item for the annual RFD Awards Banquet. The RCFAAA provides gift cards that are given to fire and accident victims to assist their immediate needs following their incident. The RCFAAA provides to each member of the RFD a pocket-sized, annual schedule for each active duty shift for the 24-7 operation of the Richardson Fire Department. The RCFAAA also maintains a Casualty & Emergency Relief fund for members of the RFD who experience funeral expenses, medical prescriptions required by emergency or life threatening illnesses, and other related emergency or extraordinary medical treatment related needs, such as food/gas.
The mission of the Richardson Citizen Fire Academy Alumni Association (RCFAAA) is to function in an auxiliary capacity to assist, promote, and support the Richardson Fire Department through service, education and recognition.
Members of the Citizen Fire Academy Alumni Association (CFAAA) are graduates of the Citizen Fire Academy and act as an auxiliary, supporting the Richardson Fire Department (RFD). The members meet monthly and take part in programs with the goal of increasing their knowledge and support of the RFD
