Mahtomedi Fire Department

Today marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on our country.

We pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day, including 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while answering the call to help others.

We also remember the countless first responders, military members, families, and communities whose lives were forever changed by the events of September 11.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their courage, their service, and their sacrifice.

Last week, the Mahtomedi Fire Department had the opportunity to train alongside the Stillwater MN Fire Department during a joint shift training focused on rural water supply operations.

Many of the areas we protect do not have fire hydrants, making it essential for firefighters to establish a continuous water supply during a fire. These operations require teamwork, coordination, and communication between multiple agencies.

Training together before an emergency allows our crews to become familiar with each other's equipment, procedures, and expectations so that when the real call comes, we can work as one team under some of the most stressful conditions.

We are grateful for the strong partnerships we have with our neighboring departments and look forward to many more opportunities to train together. Working together makes all of us better—and ultimately provides a higher level of service to the communities we serve.

This week, our firefighters trained on firefighter survival skills—critical techniques designed to help firefighters escape dangerous situations if the unexpected occurs.

While we hope these are skills we never have to use, we know that preparation saves lives. By continually training on self-rescue, emergency survival techniques, and working together under stress, we ensure our firefighters are ready to respond to even the most challenging situations.

Training like this reinforces our commitment to providing the highest level of service to our community while making sure everyone goes home safely after every call.
