Thanks to McCloud Fire Department's Engine 1712, the folks working hard at McCloud's railroad yard this past weekend were able to keep locomotive #38's cooling water topped off, and to give #38 and #36 a rinse off.

Please, help us in welcoming ​Elliott Thurlow. Elliot is a 23-year-old Sleeper/Student Paramedic with the McCloud Fire Department. Originally from Novato in the North Bay—where he began his education in EMS and public safety—Elliott is a two-year EMT and one of the newest Volunteer Ambulance Drivers operating out of Station 17 (Leatherman’s Hall).
​Currently, Elliott is preparing for his first semester at the College of the Siskiyous. He is sharpening his skills by responding to 911 calls in McCloud and gaining invaluable, hands-on training alongside the department's full-time Firefighter Paramedics.
​Outside of his shift work, Elliott closely follows extreme sports, with a primary focus on Freeride Skiing and Formula 1 racing. He also enjoys researching wildfire operations and planning. Growing up, he spent nine years playing competitive lacrosse from 4th through 12th grade.
​Elliott’s ultimate goal is to master the skills and education required for a long, successful career in EMS, allowing him to serve as a vital asset to his community, and supporting the town of McCloud.
