Neves, Chair of the Hawaii State Fire Council (SFC) and Fire Chief of the Honolulu Fire Department (HFD). The SFC and the HFD support HB 1974, HD 1, SD 1, which proposes to transfer $1,000,000 from the natural area preserve fund to the fire fighter’s contingency fund to upgrade fire fighting equipment for the state of Hawaii (State) and counties. Summer is historically the busiest time of the year for wildland fires. As equipment technology improves and older equipment deteriorate, State and county fire fighters are continually looking to replace equipment. The transfer of this money will provide the needed support to replace and upgrade aging equipment. The SFC and the HFD urge your committee's passage of HB 1974, HD1, SD 1 for the protection of the public and our fire fighters. Should you have questions, please contact SFC Administrative Specialist Lloyd Rogers at 723-7176 or [email protected].

  • December 7, 1941—The Day the Honolulu Fire Department Went to War1
    December 7, 1941—The Day the Honolulu Fire Department Went to War1 John E. Bowen The telephone from the Honolulu Fire Department's (HFD) alarm bureau rang in the quarters of Engine Company 6* in Kalihi at 0805 on Sunday, December 7, 1941, just as it had so many times before in this busy station. Lieutenant Frederick Kealoha answered and sounded the house gong. Despite the apparent normality of this routine, this was not just another alarm—Engine 6 was going to war. One firefighter would never return; others would be seriously wounded. The Japanese had unleashed their infamous attack ten minutes earlier upon Pearl Harbor, Hickam Field and other military bases on Oahu.2 Richard L. Young, then a rookie of eight months who was later to serve for three years as HFD chief, describe his company's summons to battle: "My shift had just reported to work at 0800. While standing in the back of the engine house, Lt. Kealoha and the five of us on duty that morning noticed anti- aircraft guns in action over Pearl Harbor and Hickam Field. And, of course, we had been following the situation in Washington and the international tension that had built up but we had never seen that type of activity before. So much concentrated anti-aircraft artillery going at one time and we suspected that something had happened at Pearl. We were just standing by for the signal John E. Bowen is a professor of Botany at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. * A "company" ,in fire department terminology, is defined as a single specialized operational unit, consisting of one or two pieces of apparatus and the personnel who man this (these) vehicle(s).

The final part of the process included ongoing discussions and collaborations between the Strategic Planning Committee, made up of a variety of ranked Department members and Executive Staff.

  • Message from the Hawaii State Fire Council (Sfc)
    SAFETYSAFETYSAFETYSAFETYSAFETY GUIDEGUIDEGUIDEGUIDEGUIDE MESSAGE FROM THE HAWAII STATE FIRE COUNCIL (SFC) Aloha! The SFC, which is comprised of Hawaii’s four county Fire Chiefs, is pleased to announce the 31st edition of the Fire Fighter’s Safety Guide (FFSG). This year’s FFSG promotes the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 2016 Fire Prevention Week theme, “Don’t Wait – Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years.” According to the NFPA, smoke alarms save lives and are a key part of a home re escape plan. Working smoke alarms give you an early warning so you can escape quickly. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing re deaths and injuries. The NFPA emphasizes the importance of planning and practicing home re escape plans to ensure everyone in the home can hear the sound of the smoke alarm. We suggest practicing the escape plan while the smoke alarm is activated so family members become familiar with its sound. The FFSG is distributed to elementary school students statewide through a collaboration of Hawaii’s four county re departments. The FFSG was designed with the entire family in mind. Please participate with your child by completing the activities and lessons together. The completed activities should be returned to your child’s teacher. Mahalo for your participation. ROBERT F.
