1st Place winner of the 2016 Continuing Challenge Photo Contest. Congratulations to Susanne Rohner. This is the cover of our 2017 Catalog and our notification flyers. Who will win this year?

This months member showcase agency on the Continuing Challenge Committee is the California State Firefighters' Association (CSFA) .

"CSFA is dedicated to ensuring our members a strong and united voice in the evolution of the fire service through unity in leadership, political action, education, training and quality member services.”

Less than a week to go and all of the packets are stuffed. The team finished early this week. Also, received the instructor's gifts. A laser pointer and 4GB flash drive with a handy dandy little case. Makes you want to teach a class doesn't it?

At our Challenge meeting Jerry Apodaca modeled our wears for the year. Complete with Bag, Hat, and shirt... Thank you Jerry! Bet you cannot wait to get yours!

More new items for the Store are arriving daily. Check out the new hats we just got in. Cannot wait!

We thought it was about time to showcase our member agencies on the Continuing Challenge Committee. And what better way to start out with is to spotlight the California Specialized Training Institute which is part of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). Enjoy.

Welcome to the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI). Under the reorganization of Cal OES, CSTI has evolved into a statewide enterprise with responsibility for supporting training, exercises and education in wide variety of areas including but not limited to; emergency management, public safety, homeland security, hazardous materials, disaster recovery and crisis communications. CSTI is no longer just defined by the San Luis Obispo campus you may be familiar with, but is being developed into a more holistic resource to support your needs whether you are a government, non-profit or private sector organization.

As we move forward you will see CSTI further develop its capabilities to support you by utilizing collaboration, leveraging of funding and resources, partnerships, relevant technology, current information and subject matter expertise in order to enhance capabilities at the individual, organizational, agency and jurisdictional level, whether you participate online, at our facilities or yours.

Our focus is on facilitating and or providing the best possible solutions in training, exercise, and education with an eye on building capabilities, utilizing an all-hazards, total resource approach.

More SWAG for this years Continuing Challenge. With Sacramento's new ban on plastic bags these CC shopping bags will come in handy the next time you go to the grocery store.

Happy Birthday to The Golden Gate Bridge! She opened to traffic 79 years ago. The GG spans the Golden Gate strait, the one-mile-wide, three-mile-long channel between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the American city of San Francisco, California – the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula – to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.The Frommers travel guide describes the Golden Gate Bridge as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." It opened in 1937 and was, until 1964, the longest suspension bridge main span in the world, at 4,200 feet. (source: Wikipedia)
