Rep. Aguilar Meets with Firefighters and Joins Training at Rancho Cucamonga Fire District All-Risk Training Center

Rep. Pete Aguilar recently visited the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District All-Risk Training Center, where he spoke with local firefighters and joined them in training exercises to learn more about the work they do every day to keep the Inland Empire safe.

"Here in Southern California, we know that fire season is becoming an all-year-round reality, and it's seemingly getting worse every single year," said Rep. Pete Aguilar. "I was proud to join some of the brave men and women from the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District to learn more about the hard work they do, putting their lives on the line to protect our community. At a time when the Trump Administration is gutting FEMA and playing politics with federal aid for natural disasters, the work our firefighters do is more important than ever. I'll keep fighting in Congress to support our first responders and ensure our communities receive the disaster assistance they need, as soon as they need it."

Rep. Aguilar serves as Chair of the House Democratic Caucus and as a member of the House Committee on Appropriations.
