Car Seat Inspection Request

National Dog Day | Meet K9 ChardonnayToday we’re celebrating a very special member of the SCFD4 family, K9 Chardonnay, our Ignitable Liquid Detection Canine.Chardonnay has a serious job. When a fire is suspicious or the cause is uncertain, her incredible nose helps fire investigators locate potential traces of ignitable liquids, including gasoline and other accelerants that may be difficult to find. Her work can help investigators identify areas where evidence may be collected and sent to the laboratory for confirmation.And Chardonnay doesn’t just serve SCFD4. She is currently the only working K9 of her kind in our region and is available to assist neighboring fire districts with their fire investigations when her skills are needed.Her handler and Dad, Chief Jared Harms, is constantly training with her, keeping her skills sharp and strengthening the partnership they rely on at fire scenes. It’s a lot of work, but it’s also a pretty special bond.Around the office, she gets plenty of belly rubs, back rubs and love whenever she stops by. It’s hard to have a bad day when Chardonnay is around.Four paws, an incredible nose and one very important job. We’re pretty lucky to have her on our team.Happy National Dog Day, Chardonnay! 🐾 ...
