The Most Important Tools in the Toolbox 🧰❤️🚒

In the fire service, we're taught that every tool in the toolbox serves a purpose. Some tools provide strength, some offer guidance, and some help us overcome life's toughest challenges.

Fathers do much the same.

Today, we celebrate the fathers of Tampa Fire Rescue and dads throughout our community who help build strong families, strong futures, and stronger communities.

Happy Father's Day from .

⛺️🔥 Camp Hopetáke is more than a summer camp, it is a place of hope, healing, friendship, and belonging for pediatric burn survivors.

For more than 30 years, this special camp has brought children from across Florida together for a week filled with adventure, encouragement, and unforgettable memories. From exciting outings and outdoor activities to meaningful moments with firefighters, nurses, and new friends, campers are reminded that they are never alone in their journey.

We are proud to support a camp that gives these incredible children a safe place to laugh, grow, build confidence, and simply enjoy being kids.

A heartfelt Thank-You to the Tampa Firefighters Charity Fund, Tampa General Hospital nurses, and for helping make this life-changing experience possible year after year.

At Camp Hopetáke, young survivors find more than fun, they find strength, community, and a place where they truly belong. ❤️

⚓🤝 Tampa Fire Rescue was proud to welcome members of the Royal Navy from the crew of HMS Trent to Station 1 and the Emergency Operations Center.

While docked in Tampa to celebrate and strengthen the close UK-U.S. defense partnership, the crew shared HMS Trent’s capabilities to support disaster response, including medical treatment, personnel extraction, and drone operations during hurricane response and recovery efforts.

Partnerships like these strengthen preparedness and help build more resilient communities.

Today, celebrates an incredible milestone and an extraordinary career.

Congratulations to PST Supervisor II Janice Eastburn on 40 years of dedicated service as a dispatcher with Tampa Fire Rescue.

For four decades, Janice has been the calm voice on the other end of the line during some of our community’s most critical moments. Her professionalism, commitment, and compassion have helped guide emergency responses and support countless firefighters, paramedics, and citizens in need.

Behind every emergency response is a dispatcher making a difference, and Janice’s impact on Tampa Fire Rescue and our community cannot be overstated.

Thank you, Janice, for 40 years of service, leadership, and dedication. Your contributions have helped shape generations of emergency communications professionals and have made the City of Tampa a safer place for all.

Please join us in congratulating Janice on this remarkable achievement! 🎉👏

STRENGTH TO SERVE: Safety Stand Down 2026

This week, joins fire departments across the nation in recognizing Firefighter Safety Stand Down 2026 (June 14–20).

This year's theme, "Fit to Serve, Fit for Life," highlights the importance of physical fitness in keeping firefighters healthy, safe, and ready to serve.

Throughout the week, our members will focus on daily fitness and wellness topics that promote injury prevention, resilience, and long-term health.

Supporting that mission is Tampa Fire Rescue’s Peer Fitness Team, which provides peer support, fitness guidance, and mentorship to help personnel maintain the strength and readiness required for the fire service.
