All-Terrain Rescue Vehicles Deployed to San Bernardino County Fire Stations
Earlier this year five all-terrain rescue vehicles
were placed into service at County Fire stations to assist with hard to reach and remote calls. The all-terrain vehicles, dubbed “All-Terrain Response Vehicles” (ARV) have been a valuable asset for back country and off-highway incidents. Each ARV are four-wheel drive, have seating for three and house a patient care area to transport patients. ARV also carry advanced life support (ALS) gear so firefighter-paramedics can initiate patient care in remote areas. The ARV’s are assigned to Station 96 (Fawnskin), Station 25 (Crestline), Station 53 (Baker), Station 232 (San Bernardino) & Station 92 (Lake Arrowhead). These diverse districts cover thousands of square miles of popular hiking, climbing and off-road vehicle areas.
Our backcountry areas have seen a significant uptick in activity with the COVID pandemic. With the rise, we have responded to a significant increase of incidents in our rural and hard to reach areas. San Bernardino County Fire covers more than 19,000 square miles including forest land, desert area and urban areas. Fire crews have completed comprehensive training on ARV operation, GPS mapping and area familiarization to ensure they are ready to respond to these unique calls. #SBCoFD Crews also work closely with San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Air Operations and Sheriff Search & Rescue Teams. Many of these calls require air transport, hoist or involve search and rescue teams. This cooperation and teamwork is vital for patient care and outcome.
Just yesterday SBCoFD crews utilized two ARV’s for Rescues in the Cajon Pass & Lake Arrowhead at the same time. Monday ARV96 y was utilized for a lightning strike fire to transport firefighters and equipment to a remote area north of Fawnskin. These vehicles allow County Firefighters-Paramedics to quickly and safely respond to areas where conventional fire apparatus aren’t able to access. The ARV are typically towed by a utility vehicle to the incident area, then respond off-highway to help assist with locating patients, providing advanced life support and transporting to an awaiting ambulance.

With great sadness, and heavy hearts, we regretfully announce the passing of retired San Bernardino City Fire Captain Tony Giordano. He passed away on July 23, 2021.
Born February 4, 1980, Tony’s Mother and Father, Dana and Steven Giordano, instilled a ferocious love for others from the beginning. Growing up in Torrance, California, he would grow to be the quintessential Southern California coastal boy. His passion for the outdoors, the ocean and active lifestyle would only grow deeper as the years went on. He quickly understood the power of relationships built through experiences and selflessness, as he navigated his younger years and mentoring his two younger brothers, Nick and Jared, along the way. That brotherly bond, and his athletically heavy upbringing, would deeply instill a teamwork centric approach in all that he did. He knew his destiny would only lead to helping others in their greatest times of need. Although his interest in the fire service was known before even leaving high school, his ability to save and heal wouldn’t be limited just by his professional boundaries.
Tony’s passionate fire service career began with the Corona Fire Department in 2003. In November of 2004, he accepted a new position at his dream department, The San Bernardino City Fire Department. His career was spent entirely at the City’s busiest fire stations, where he had profound impacts in training, EMS, fireground tactics, rookie training, honor guard, Paramedic Student Preceptorship and Pipes & Drums. His career was remarkable, excelling in the Firefighter/Paramedic (2004), Engineer (2008) and Captain (2013) ranks early on. Sadly, Tony was forced to medically retire in late 2015. The fire service remained very close to his heart and was a great part of who he was well into his civilian life.
Tony met his wife, Krystle, in 2007 after a couple of would-be matchmakers thought they should meet. Sparks were immediate and he knew without hesitation, that she was the one. A whirlwind romance would lead to marriage on September 13, 2008. They would later build their real estate empire together and as a surprise to no one, he became wildly successful by employing much of his fire service command and control practices. He would be recognized for the fire engine he bought and used as an innovative real estate marketing tool during various community outreaches. He became a community pilar during the annual Christmas, Fourth of July, Easter and Halloween fire engine parades and made every attempt to give-back wherever he could in those travels as well.
Tony always knew he wanted a big family and couldn’t wait to begin that family with the love of his life. Their three children, 8-year-old daughter Isabella, 6-year-old daughter Abigail and 2-year-old son Tony Jr. were his greatest treasures. Anything they wanted, they got. The word “No” simply didn’t exist and as Tony did in all aspect of his life, would make their desires reality in the biggest, best, most passionate way he possibly could. As Krystle had made known, he was the BEST husband and “Disneyland” Dad to ever be.
Tony was deeply passionate about God, his community, his church, business, Cross-fit, running, surfing, eating, and being a black belt in ju-jitsu. He was truly larger than life and his reach extended far and wide. The foundation of hope for so many, much of his routine conversations and kind gestures often served as life altering moments for those he touched. He lived life without fear and challenged adversity head on. His legacy will inspire, empower and continue to save others for an eternity to come.
Our family is just so heartbroken 💔 for the whole Giordano family! We offer our prayers of comfort as God comes alongside you all to bring you peace that passes any natural understanding! We are just sooo very sorry! Tony is a shining LIGHT and will continue to be through the memories of his family and those he served alongside! 🥲
