When firefighters run into a burning home, clutter isn't just an obstacle, it’s a hazard.

For , we are focusing on preventing slips, trips and falls. Keep everyone safe by clearing stairs, taping down loose cords and ensuring walkways are well-lit.

Spend five minutes tonight securing your hallways.

Minnetonka High School seniors stopped by Fire Station 1 to give back to the community as part of the Senior Serve program. These groups helped wash fire vehicles and clean the station so we could continue answering calls. We appreciate the heavy lifting. 🧼🚒

They also enjoyed views from our ladder truck and toured the station.

Thanks you for your service, seniors. tonkahsprincipal

A few of our firefighters participated in a one-day educational trip to Washington, D.C. hosted by the Jewish Community Relations Council.

They were able to take a tour of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum with tour guide Eli Rosenbaum, the former Director of the US Department of Justice, Office of Special Investigations.

The experience was memorable and impactful for our crew as they learned more about the Holocaust and the importance of combating antisemitism. We’re grateful for opportunities like these that promote education, understanding, and community connection.

Fire Stations 2 and 3 – the city’s two oldest stations – are facing challenges tied to age, layout and modern safety standards. In order to continue supporting public safety and efficient emergency response, the city plans to rebuild these two stations to meet modern day standards.

The current stations were built decades ago and reflect an earlier era of fire service operations:

• The building layout was not designed for today’s 24-hour staffing model and best practices for firefighter recovery.
• Limited space makes it a challenge to clean, store, decontaminate and care for modern equipment and gear.
• Insufficient air quality systems do not meet today’s standards for protecting firefighter health and safety.

If approved by the Minnesota Legislature and by voters in November, the investments in the Minnetonka Together plan would address these challenges and more. Explore all projects included in the proposed plan at MinnetonkaTogether.com.
