Rainy Thursday afternoons can go a lot of ways.

So we decided to blow off some steam.

On our day off, we went and played laser tag together. No radios, no tones, no turnout gear. Just a little competition between the Engine crew and the Ladder crew, a lot of laughs, a lot of sweat, and some well-earned bragging rights.

The Engine came out victorious.

This job is built on 3am calls, long shifts, training, and hard days. Time outside the firehouse is just as important as time inside it. Moments like this matter. Competing a little, busting each other’s chops, grabbing a beer together, and remembering that we genuinely enjoy being around one another.

Grateful for this crew. Rain or shine, B Shift shows up.

High Rollers.

Around 0215am yesterday morning CFD Alarm received multiple calls about fire in the attic of a single family dwelling. Engine 6 and Engine 14 arrived 1st and 2nd due to find heavy fire showing from the attic vents, established a water supply, and began fire attack. Engine 16 and Ladder 16 arrived 3rd and 4th due. Engine 16 established a secondary water supply for Ladder 16 and assisted with fire attack. Ladder 16 was ordered to flow the aerial after evacuation tones were sent out and completed a secondary on the house. Control time was called at 0251am. No injuries to firefighters or civilians.
