Tensas Fire lost a good man, and a good firefighter, Eulas Foster (FD-22). Eulas was very dedicated to the fire service for over 25 years. Please keep his family and his fire department family in your prayers as we mourn the loss of good man. I will update when the arrangements are made. Rest easy FD-22, We will see you at the top.

Here at Tensas Fire we have been hard at work evaluating ourselves to see how we can better serve our parish and make it a safer place. Soon we will have a few Public Education Programs rolling out.
1. Residential Fire Safety Program: Upon request we will come to your home and give recommendations to any fire hazards that we may find.
2. We will have a program for our businesses also.
3. We are still installing smoke alarms.
I'm looking forward to helping Tensas become a safer place to live.

On March 9th and 10th, Tensas Fire held a two night training on Forcible Entry. The first night was all classroom and the second night was hands on training. There was 15 members in attendance both nights. FETA-Louisiana Fire and Emergency Training Academy instructor Johnny Ogden demonstrated different ways to breach a door with different types of locks. When a life hangs in the balance, seconds matter and that's why we train. A heartfelt thank you to those that came out and participated.

PLEASE!!!! Do not burn at this time. We are not under a burn ban but if we keep having fires that get out of control we will have to. The dry conditions and high winds are spreading fires faster than you can keep up with them. If you start a fire and it burns onto another property, you will be held responsible for any and all damages. Feel free to share!!!

Tensas Fire finished up a two night training class on “Flash Over”. Monday night was classroom lecture on reading the smoke and fire, and how to stay safe and control the situation. On Tuesday night we had a live burn prop provided by FETA. We were able to watch the fire grow from the incipient stage to fire and temps of 1000 degrees just a few feet above our heads. We saw up close the effects of ventilation on a fire. A big thanks to the volunteers that showed up to train and FETA for bringing the prop and burning it for us!
