From generation to generation, the tradition continues.

This photo represents the men who helped build the foundation of the Shelbyville Fire Department from the 1890’s through 1970. Their dedication, sacrifice, and service shaped the department we know today and laid the groundwork for those who continue answering the call.

Over a century later, their legacy still lives on.

🔥 Public Safety Announcement 🔥

As temperatures rise and conditions become dry, mulch fires become more common. Mulch can ignite from discarded smoking materials, fireworks, or even heat from vehicle exhaust systems.

To help prevent fires::
• Keep mulch beds moist during dry weather
• Never discard ci******es in mulch
• Avoid parking vehicles or equipment over mulch beds
• Keep combustible materials away from landscaping

A small fire can spread quickly and threaten homes, businesses, and lives. Stay alert and help keep our community safe.

Happy Mustache Monday! 🚒👨🏻

The mustache has long been a tradition in the fire service, dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Back then, firefighters often wore large mustaches because early breathing equipment and face masks didn’t seal properly over full beards. A mustache allowed firefighters to keep some facial hair while still getting a better seal and protection on the fireground.

Over time, the firehouse mustache became a symbol of pride, tradition, and brotherhood in the fire service. From the old-school smoke eaters to today’s crews, the tradition is still alive — and still looking good - kinda 😂

This plate tells a story most people never see. In the middle of a meal, the call came in, and without hesitation, it was dropped to respond to someone’s emergency. No second thoughts, no complaints—just action.

We understand this is our job, and it’s exactly what we signed up for. Serving this community will always come before comfort.

Behind every call is a sacrifice, even in the smallest moments. 🇺🇸🚒
