I’m sorry my town once again was unable to provide end coverage. I didn’t think they would, they don’t get out for calls in town, let alone out of town
Great job by all,,,,
I saw your fire trucks whiz by my house on East Broadway I must say y'all get to fires swiftly and I walked outside I saw how fast all involved getting your ladder extended and getting up to the 6th floor balcony. I must give you all praise and appreciation for Everything you do to keep someone safe and risking your life to save another.. God bless you all πππ

FF. Tyler Rutter
Tyler Rutter's story is different then most of our Fire Department members. Tyler was born and raised in San Diego, California. He attended CAL State college for a while but caught the bug for helping people when he attended a CPR class at a local firehouse. From there he was hooked. Tyler quickly became an EMT and joined his local fire department. He eventually became an on-call firefighter while still in California.
Tyler had the opportunity to go full time as a firefighter and his career began in Rincon Valley, in Tucson Arizona. He has worked in various locations throughout the country as a Firefighter. He became a paramedic during this time increasing his ability to provide a greater service for the communities he served.
In 2013, Tyler and his family moved to Oceanside, NY. Tyler joined the Oceanside Fire Department for a short time as a volunteer firefighter while he was working as a medic at Stoney Brook University. Then the chance of a lifetime came when Tyler applied for the newly created Long Beach Fire Department Paramedic position and was hired here in 2015. In 2021 Tyler had great success with transferring over to a Long Beach career firefighter position.
Tyler has been working and caring for the residents of Long Beach for over a decade. He has personally gotten to know families and generations of Long Beach. Tyler stated, " Besides being a firefighter, I feel I'm a part of Long Beach like when I help out volunteering with Skudin Surf for All, helping special needs children. I'm taken back by the closeness of the people of Long Beach and their unwavering support for each other."
Thanks for the recognition and considering me a home town hero. Deeply honored and grateful to work with numerous true home town heroes in our prestigious fire department β€οΈ
Tyler is a wonderful human being! You nominated the perfect person for the honors. Well done my friend! β€οΈ
The Best π. Congratulations Tyler !!

Tyler came to my house a few months ago when my 89 year old mother fell and cut open her head!! He was wonderful with her and I couldn't have asked for a better person to handle our emergency!!

Is everyone ok how did this happen please drive safe οΏΌοΏΌ
I can confirm that almost every single time I am waiting to cross LB Blvd from a side street such as E Fulton or Market, at least one driver continues through the solid red light. Even though the light ahead is red. And the timing of the lights between Pine and Park makes absolutely NO sense. Looks like either driver disregarded red, or CRV made right on red while Outback was crossing Westward.
East Fulton
The worst intersection
Hope everyone is ok π
