Captain Cal
About Captain Cal
Cal grew up in the foothills of California. He lived in a community of other animals in the wildland and loved helping out. Being the helper cub that he was, he was always the first to offer a helping hand or do some heavy lifting. As he grew, he learned the power of his strength and how important it was to him to help others.
One day, there was a massive wildfire where Cal lived. The fire spread quickly and it seemed there wouldn’t be time to evacuate everyone out of the area. Instinctively, Cal sprang into action, getting everyone lined up and to the CAL FIRE vehicles that would lead them to safety. It was as if he were born for that work!
After the wildfire was controlled, something really great happened. During the fire, people learned of the animals need for homes. All of the animals were all adopted — including Cal! He found a home with the CAL FIRE firefighters who led the community to safety. The firefighters saw something in Cal the day of the fire and knew he had the makings of a great firefighter. They asked him to be part of the fire family, and of course he said “yes!”
Being adopted by CAL FIRE meant a lot to Cal. Over the next several years, he trained extra hard with the firefighters. He got to ride along with the engine companies, and when he was old enough, became a part of the crew. Cal excelled at being a firefighter, working his way up through the ranks and is now a fire captain.
Today, Captain Cal teaches others about the many aspects of safety and how to protect yourself and your family. “Safety Starts With You” is his motto.
