The OC Firefighters Local 3631 strives to ensure long-term firefighter health and wellness. Why? Because your physical wellbeing are crucial to high performance on the job. We also recognize that your specialized skills and knowledge provide an essential community-wide service. What you do saves lives. However, the sheer nature of the physical demands required of you dramatically raises your own personal health risk.
That’s why Local 3631 makes your personal health a priority.

“If it was not for their expertise and training I don’t think my dad would have been here today” Delgado said.

Just after 11 p.m. on May 29 on the Santa Ana freeway just past La Paz, an SUV spun out and lost control, rolled into the path of an oncoming bus, flipped once or twice, and exploded into a ball of flame, the Orange County Register said.
Water-rescue-trainer Shawn Alladio was on her way home from a full day of teaching water rescue techniques to Marines at Camp Pendleton when she saw the crash happen right before her eyes. Alladio immediately pulled over and ran towards the flaming wreck. When she got there, she saw an unconscious man, with his arms ablaze, inside the vehicle.

“It is support at a level that I have never received before and I am very grateful for everything that has been done for me” Litchfield said.
Chief Keith Richter, Deputy Chief McIntosh, Fire Captain Greg Mckeown, is just to name a few people that participated in this event among other employees from OCFA. Participants had a premium to shave their heads in order to raise money for a worthy cause.
