Last night we had the pleasure of welcoming the Lakeland Junior Fire Department to our firehouse for a tour. It was great to meet such an enthusiastic group of future firefighters, share our equipment and apparatus, and answer their questions.

Thank you for visiting—we hope you enjoyed your time with us, and we look forward to seeing many of you continue your journey in the fire service. Stay safe, and keep learning!
