On Thursday, TRT 18 took part in a large deployment drill in Rochelle. This drill provided the opportunity for the team to work on our response procedures, along with working through a confined space and high angle rescue drills. We are so proud of how far this team has come in the last few years and looking forward to its continued advancement.

A special thanks to the Chicago Cubs, as they honor First Responders this evening at Wrigley Field. After what’s been a busy summer, a group of firefighters from Byron and Oregon took the opportunity to unwind and enjoy a night at the ballpark. Bonds like these between organizations are a win for the communities we serve. Go Cubs Go!!!!

NEW APPARATUS: This morning we completed the final inspection of our new rescue engine at Toyne in Breda, Iowa with Dinges Fire Company. This vehicle will be a dual purpose apparatus having both a rescue and fire suppression role, allowing us to consolidate apparatus. We can’t thank the Byron community and our Board of Trustees enough for always supporting our mission of public safety. Stay tune for more of Engine 401!!!
