Firefighters really are the good guys! My 1-year-old son and I were walking into the Great Mall…read morewhen he spotted a fire truck pulling up. He was sooo excited, shouting "fire truck!" over and over. The truck stopped right in front of us, and he got to see it up close--it was his first time ever seeing one in real life! The firemen hopped off, greeted him warmly, and gave him a little fire hat and a sticker. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made his whole day (and mine too, honestly). This was the most heartwarming first encounter he could've had with real-life heroes. Thank you, Milpitas Fire Department, for creating such a special moment for my little guy!

San Jose Fire Department, ENGINE 18 C in the 95111 Monterey rd area,…read moreCame to my families rescue and aid tonight. Jason, Rich, Peter and another gentleman who's name I cannot recall, were outstanding and couldn't have demonstrated a higher level of compassion and form of leadership. Tonight a pipe from the back bathroom burst causing chaos and flood. My parents who are elderly, and sickly were afraid and in a state of panic. I tried calming them and we ran outside to shut off the water switch to the entire building. We could not get in touch with management and were in deep concern. When my mother noticed a popping sound from the water heater we became increasingly fearful and called SJFD. We were them advised to exit the apartment until they arrived. Upon arrival of Engine 18 C, they quickly made sure we were safe and that the water heater was not a danger rather the sounds coming from it were simply reactions to the shutting off of the water which caused water temperatures to change. Once Jason saw we simply needed a plumber and advised us to call one out, pay for it and have the owner of the building reimburse us, I explained our unfortunate low budget. I explained how i am between jobs and my parents who are on fixed incomes could not afford to pay for a plumber. Jason and the others looked deep into their hearts and did not leave us. They went into the house and fixed the issue so that we could get through the night. I felt so grateful that after making sure we were safe, and that water heater was not a danger, they didn't just leave. They went above and beyond and got their hands dirty. Bravo guys. You all helped a single working mother and an elderly couple so much. This is the face of San Jose fire department. I salute and appreciate you all for your help tonight. Thank you and God bless you. -Ruby Perez 4084691132

A couple of months ago, I was dumb enough not to remember carrying my keys with me when throwing…read moretrash outside of the house. The wind closed the door behind me and it was locked. I freaked out because my baby was inside the house alone; I ran to my neighbor and asked to use their phone to call my husband but wasn't able to reach him. A few minutes later, I decided to call 911; the operator asked me to wait outside and help is on the way. I kept talking to my baby through the door; I was in tears hoping nothing bad would happen. I waited for about 5min (might be shorter, but it seemed longer when I was anxious), the Santa Clara Fire Department came. They were all very friendly and patience; they calmly asked for detail information about my house and my baby. They tried to find a way in without breaking my doors; they quickly figured out a way to get into the house through a window. As soon as they opened the door for me, I ran to see my baby. Luckily she was safe, enjoying some videos in the high chair. The Fire Fighters didn't just leave right away, instead, they made sure to place the window net back on correctly, said hello to my baby and my dog, as well as checking the smoke protectors at my house. Embarrassingly, all of my smoke protectors were out of batteries; they offered to install new ones but refused to let me pay for them. They also played with my baby and my dog while waiting for the protectors to be installed. Seriously, I haven't seen a group of genuinely nice people in a long while. While I felt very bad for them to come for my stupid mistake, I was very thankful that they were able to rescue us in such a short notice. Thank you Santa Clara Fire Department! You guys are awesome.

I purchased a front plate holder and "installed" the front plate, then headed to Sunnyvale Police department. They wanted $31.00 to sign off and Mountain View wanted $27.00 (non MTV resident, residents can get them signed off for free). Called CHP and they said they will sign off for any correctable citation for free! Headed over there this morning and was pleasantly greeted by the front desk receptionist and handed her my citation. Within 5 min an office signed off that the plate was installed and I was on my way. Seriously nice ppl who work here. Keep it up CHP!

Had asked San Jose Fire Protection for a quote on refill + certificate on one fire extinguisher…read more Quote was very promptly provided which was better than quote from big company.
