🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day from SMFPD! 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor and recognize the brave men and women who have served our country.
We are especially proud to recognize the Veterans within our own SMFPD family. It is an honor to serve alongside you in our community.

🚒 Always Ready to Serve Our Community!🚒
Members of SMFPD are always finding ways to lend a hand in the community.
Sometimes, those everyday moments turn into an opportunity to learn something new!
What started as helping, turned into an impromptu training evolution involving our R3 Trailer and grain operations. It's a great opportunity for our members to get hands-on experience, familiarize themselves with equipment, and continue building the skills needed to respond when called.

🔥Monday Night Training🔥
Last night, SMFPD members participated in hands-on training focused on egress, salvage, and overhaul operations. Crews practiced creating and maintaining safe egress routes while conducting post-fire operations, including pulling ceilings and opening walls to check for hidden fire extension and remaining hot spots.
Training emphasized teamwork, firefighter safety, protecting property from unnecessary damage, and thoroughly checking the structure to help prevent rekindles.🚒

🚒🔥 Fire Safety Day! 🔥🚒
SMFPD members had a great time visiting Scales Mound School for Fire Safety Day! 👩‍🚒🧑‍🚒
The kids got to go through the smokehouse and learn what it’s like to be inside a smoke-filled environment, while our firefighters talked about fire safety, what firefighters do, and what to expect during an emergency.
Most importantly, we wanted the kids to know that firefighters are here to help! ❤️ Whether it’s a fire, medical emergency, or another situation, our job is to keep our community safe.
A big thank you to Scales Mound School for having us and to all the students for being such great listeners and participants! 🚒❤️
