Early yesterday morning, one of our firefighters was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle while providing care at a traffic collision on westbound State Route 118 near Tapo Canyon Road in Simi Valley.

The firefighter received immediate care and was transported to a local trauma center. On the evening of September 28, the firefighter was transferred by VCFD personnel to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for continued specialized care and remains in stable condition.

The firefighter’s family and the Ventura County Fire Department appreciate the community’s support and ask that the public respect their privacy during this time.
