Community Involvement, Emergency Preparedness
Santa Paula Fire Department is an leader in training Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members. Over the last few years, we have trained over 600 local residents in how to prepare for and respond to all types of emergencies and natural disasters.
The CERT program training provides community members with valuable information on how they can best protect themselves and prepare to serve their community in the event of a natural disaster. The class is taught by Coordinator Steve Lazenby, and available free of charge in both English and Spanish to anyone in the Santa Paula community.

The classes are typically taught 1 evening per week for 7 weeks. At graduation, students are engaged in a mock-disaster simulation and have the opportunity to apply the skills they've learned in the course. The program also provides graduates with a Community Emergency Response kit which they can use to identify themselves in the case of a city-wide emergency and assist their friends and neighbors in their time of need.
The Cert classes will be held at the Limoneira Ranch beginning Tuesday October 21st at 6:00 PM and are open to residents of Santa Paula and the surrounding areas. The classes will meet for 7 weeks on Tuesday evenings and each class lasts 2 ½ hour. The classes will be offered in English and Spanish and they are free. Anyone that is interested in attending the classes can call Rosie Castillo at Limoneira Ranch
