Today’s Crew focused their training on quick Primary Searches for All Clears, which is making sure all occupants are out of the structure. Obtaining “All Clear’s” is a top priority benchmark for the Division!

In zero visibilty conditions, the Crews were all tasked with drawing the floor plan of the structure from memory upon exiting the structure.

Preparation happens long before the call comes in. 🚒

Our firefighters regularly participate in hands-on training to strengthen their skills, practice critical techniques, and stay prepared for whatever the next call may bring.

From ladder operations to rescue techniques, every training session helps build confidence, coordination, and readiness for the community we serve.

Today, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the countless acts of courage and compassion that followed September 11, 2001.

We will always remember. 🇺🇸

Our firefighters recently led First Aid and CPR training with teachers and staff at C. Ray Williams Elementary School.

This hands-on training gave school staff the opportunity to practice essential lifesaving skills, including CPR, wound care, tourniquet application, and pressure dressings.

We’re proud to work alongside our schools to help create safer environments for our students, staff, and entire community. A prepared community is a safer community. ❤️

Today, August 24, we pause to remember Officer Terry McDowell, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on August 24, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we remember his courage, his dedication to protecting others, and the sacrifice he made while serving his community. The passage of time does not diminish the loss or the gratitude we owe to those who put their lives on the line for others.

Today, we honor Officer McDowell, remember his service, and keep his family, friends, fellow officers, and all who knew him in our thoughts.
