Happy Easter from 5s
Nothing beats spending Easter with family and friends! Today our crew gathered for a delicious dinner together good food, great company, and plenty of laughs around the table.
It’s moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to serve a community that feels like family.
Wishing all our Station 5 families, friends, and neighbors a wonderful Easter filled with love, joy, and maybe a little leftover ham!

🐰 Happy Easter from The Junk Yard Dawgs! 🔥

This morning we had some friends swing by the station, and instead of letting them relax… we put them straight to work! 😄 Teach ’em young, right?
Nothing says Easter like a little hands on training with the next generation of firehouse crew. Who knows, we might have some future Junk Yard Dawgs in the making!

Hope everyone had a great holiday filled with family, friends, and maybe a few extra eggs!

First shift 5co helping out The Crazy 8s today. Engine 8 put a great stop to the fire in a townhome. We train on Quick Water just for this type of fire. Engine 8 first used the deck gun, unleashing 500 gallons a minute to a self-ventilated fire on the second floor. Then multiple lines were pulled to fight interior. A man was immediately rescued and pulled out by Truck 6. This strategy saved this structure and prevented a major loss. Great job 8co.
