Medicine Lodge City Fire has meetings once a month, and utilize these meeting times for trainings. Tonight, we got the pumper and ladder truck out and hooked both up to the hydrant. We went through all the steps with the new guys on how to operate each one. We also got the ladder up in the air, so that the new guys could go up and practice with the harness. Allowing them to practice latching and operating the nozzle from the air.

Today City fire got called to house fire at 5:30 am this morning. House fires are something we always cringe to hear when that page goes off. Thankfully the homeowners all made it out safely. I’d like to thank all of my firefighters for job well done of stopping the fire from advancing any further then it could have gone, the police department for blocking the streets, and the EMS being on standby. Unfortunately today we had one firefighter get his knee twisted stepping in a hole. We pray that he gets better soon and that the family of the house can find a way to try and push through this obstacle.

Training is key to being a good firefighter. Recently we ordered some new thermals and rescue equipment. Tonight we put that new equipmet to use and did some training. In these photos you will see what it is like for firefighters to go through a building full of smoke. The black around the small image would be the smoke and the small image is the thermal that is used when there is little to no visibility.
Medicine Lodge City Fire meetings will consist of many more trainings such as this one. We are currently looking for volunteers and locations to make these trainings happen, as they are vital for our department to serve our community. If you would like to volunteer in anyway please reach out to any City Firefighter.
