This morning, our community experienced an unimaginable loss.

At 5:13 a.m., JFRD was dispatched to a residential structure fire. Crews arrived four minutes later to heavy fire on the first floor and heavy smoke on the second. Two adults and two minors had escaped before firefighters arrived.

As engine companies began an immediate search of the home, firefighters located three additional pediatric patients inside. Tragically, all three were pronounced deceased at the scene.

Four patients, two adults and two pediatric patients, were transported to a local hospital with critical injuries.

The fire was brought under control at 5:38 a.m. Twenty-eight JFRD apparatus responded. Three residential units were impacted, and the American Red Cross is assisting seven adults and six children who were displaced.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office and JSO Homicide are investigating the cause and circumstances of the fire.

There are no words that can lessen the weight of a morning like this. Our thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones, those who were injured and displaced, and the JFRD members who responded to this devastating scene.

Behind every call is someone whose circumstances have suddenly changed.

Early yesterday evening, B-Shift crews responded to an apartment fire in Arlington just as a severe thunderstorm moved through the area. Through heavy rain, firefighters worked aggressively to contain the fire and limit further damage.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but several residents and their pets were displaced from their homes. Our thoughts are with all of them as they navigate what comes next. next.

Don't underestimate the heat. Extreme heat is more than uncomfortable. It can be dangerous.

An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect today, with dangerously hot temperatures expected to continue through the week. Hydrate often, know when to take breaks, seek shade or air conditioning, and pay attention to what your body is telling you.

Stay cool and stay safe, Jacksonville.

This week, several JFRD firefighters began HazMat Technician training, combining classroom instruction with hands-on scenarios designed to prepare them for some of the most complex calls we face.

Specialized training for specialized response. The work starts long before the call comes in.
