Chief McCliman provided an update on the construction of the new fire station, which will enhance the department’s ability to respond to emergencies in our community. He also introduced us to the department's latest innovation: a new electric fire engine, which is part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability and efficiency. This cutting-edge technology promises to reduce the environmental impact of firefighting operations while maintaining the high standards of service we’ve come to expect.</p><figure id="figure-e9w13h5ulmm09uj5bv" class=""><img id="e9w13h5ulmm09uj5bv" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/35zDYmiBiANbrtoWeoUQMfnildBfcgvwUDO08SBY4RAHWPnIui99ObOe8lR3sStb.jpg" alt="Portrait of a Happy Female Volunteer Preparing Free Food Delivery for Low Income People.

This memorial will serve as a powerful reminder of the heroism and sacrifices made by first responders on that fateful day. Chief McCliman's words resonated deeply with us, as many of our members vividly remember the events of September 11, 2001.</p><figure id="figure-0tpjlntd9em09uk1g5"><img id="0tpjlntd9em09uk1g5" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15NNwyzi8R5o9N74uyQNCsTo2nu95IaoLHpiTMBForayrnh2XC0u7Iv7nPycAGRl.jpg" alt="Paper people chain with hearts - Teamwork and love concept" title="Paper people chain with hearts - Teamwork and love concept" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15NNwyzi8R5o9N74uyQNCsTo2nu95IaoLHpiTMBForayrnh2XC0u7Iv7nPycAGRl.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p>The entire session with Chief McCliman was not only informative but also deeply meaningful, reminding us of the critical role our local firefighters play in keeping our community safe. His visit was a testament to the strong bond between our club and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department, and we look forward to continued collaboration in the future.<br></p>
