🔥 New Driver/Operators at Fairchild AFB Fire & Emergency Services 🔥

Please join us in congratulating SRA Covarrubius, SRA Garcia, and SRA Harris on earning their black helmets as Driver/Operators at Fairchild Air Force Base.

This achievement represents countless hours of training, vehicle familiarization, pump operations, emergency response proficiency, and dedication to the mission. The black helmet signifies trust, responsibility, and the ability to safely operate apparatus when it matters most.

Well done, gentlemen. Your commitment to protecting Team Fairchild does not go unnoticed.

🚒 Proud of our firefighters. Proud of our team.

Santa Claus is coming to town... But not tonight! With a weather advisory in effect, we will be postponing the parade through State-side housing until Saturday. Weather permitting, the Tree-side parade will proceed as planned tomorrow night! Spread the word. See you there!

Good day Team Fairchild! We are only a few days away from the main event so we are here to remind you to stay safe during your holiday preparations.

THE NUMBER ONE REMINDER IS TO NEVER LEAVE COOKING UNATTENDED!

Take that old adage of "A watched pot never boils" and throw it out the window. Ben Franklin's proverb was not meant in a literal context. Watch those pots!

Now, lets talk about those turkey fryers.
We have all seen the videos of what happens when you don't utilize a turkey fryer safely, so let us instead focus on HOW to deep fry a turkey safely, should you decide to go that route. Be sure to watch the video by the CIA (not that one, the cooking one) in the link.

Oven roasting comes with its own hazards. Make sure the pan you put that bird into has the capacity to contain all that melted fat and butter that will inevitably release from the main course. Any spillover within the oven may result in a fire, or at the very least a smoke filled house and cranky guests.

The Fairchild AFB Fire Department wishes you a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving!
