MASK UP MONDAYS!
.
COVID-19 prevention is asking us each to do our part in limiting its spread:
.
* Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others.
* Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
.
📸: #KauaiFF from Lihue/A send a huge "MAHALO!" to the communities they serve for their diligence during this time 🤙

MASK UP MONDAYS!
.
The COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable, but one of the best ways we can fight it is to Mask Up! and wash our hands often. Maintain social distancing and monitor our health daily.

We all have the responsibility to protect our loved ones, our neighbors and ourselves.

UPDATE -- CONGRATULATIONS GENTLEMEN!! #HICountyFF took home the trophy last Thursday 🙌

HILO: The final 2 teams in the First Responders Fish Off faced off this week!
.
The 2-month long tournament of Hawaii Island Fire versus Hawaii Island Police began in August, with Police hitting the waters off the Kona Coast first. In September, it was #HICountyFF turn with Team 3 B's and a G claiming the top spot with 3 marlin, highlighted by a 400-pounder, to tally 1,000 points.
.
To be on the water fishing meant a little extra for #HICountyFF as they honored Brother Eric "Buta" Hayashi whom we lost in the line-of-duty in August and who was also so very involved with the fishing tournaments.
.
Both teams squared off this week -- On Monday, Police's Team Sea Men competed and on Thursday, #HICountyFF's 3B's and a G competed, both teams returning at 4 PM on their day.
.
Good luck team!

#FlashbackFriday! On Thursday, September 24, 202

#FlashbackFriday! On Thursday, September 24, 2020, #HonoluluFF responded to a brush fire along Waahila Ridge near the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
.
The blaze that started at about 10:30 AM near the East-West Center came close to destroying or threatening structures at times as it traveled the hillside. The Manoa Hillside Estates were the closest to the flames and at about 7:30 PM, the fire was within 1,000-feet of the Waahila Ridge State Recreation Center. Several customers were without power also as firefighters battled the brush fire.
.
Fire crews conducted a watch of the small flare ups overnight. The same ridge caught on fire and burned about 1 acre three years ago but at the time, no houses were in danger or damaged.

Congratulations to Hawaii Island Fire Department EMS Battalion Chief, Chris Honda, for his recognition in yesterday’s “Heroes of Aloha” –
.
From the @staradvertiser :

“Chris Honda, battalion chief of EMS Bureau Hawaii Fire Department, has been on the front line of many emergency situations, including the coronavirus.
.
For the past few months, he and his colleagues have been busy assisting multiple agencies with COVID-19 screenings islandwide, as well as providing coronavirus education to businesses, care homes and others in the community. They are also in charge of making sure their personnel have all the necessary personal protective equipment they need.

A former National Paramedic of the Year, Honda has been involved with various community service projects, such as organizing Mother’s Day rose delivery by firefighters with proceeds benefitting American Cancer Society. A father of three boys, Honda is also a longtime volunteer in the youth baseball scene and is the head baseball coach for Waiakea High School.

Thank you, Chris Honda and the EMS Bureau Hawaii Fire Department, for being our Heroes of Aloha and putting your lives on the line for others in times of crisis.”

Retired Maui Deputy Fire Chief and former HFFA-Mau

Retired Maui Deputy Fire Chief and former HFFA-Maui Division Executive Board Member, Lionel Montalvo, speaks about his love of baseball and his love of the kids at St. Anthony High School (Trojans) as head baseball coach for the boys team for the last (5) years ...
.
“It’s always fun because we’re always the underdog,” Montalvo said. “So, we can play against the odds. Baseball is a scouting game and percentages, so it’s fun to go against the percentage and against the odds and take chances. We say: ‘We don’t practice to get lucky, we practice to get good.’
.
-- Montalvo was a part of the coaching team for the Trojans from 2007-2010 as an assistant coach under Shane Dudoit that saw a Maui Interscholastic League title in the final season before Division II existed, continued with an appearance in the first D-II state final and was followed with (2) more final (4) berths ... For the last (5) years, Montalvo has been the head baseball coach.
.
-- Montalvo is a 1978 St. Anthony graduate but his coaching journey has seen him coach football and baseball at Lahainaluna and King Kekaulike. He is a veteran umpire and currently one of the top football referees in the MIL ... He met his wife Karen during his (6) years as a police officer before joining the Maui Fire Department in 1991 and the HFFA Exec Board from 2010-2017. He retired as MFD Deputy Chief in 2018.
