TRAINING NIGHT AT Stacy-Lent Fire Department !

There's no substitute for hands-on training!

Our Chisago City firefighters spent the evening training at the Stacy-Lent Fire Department's burn facility, getting valuable experience in realistic fire conditions.

Tonight's training focused on:

Thermal Imaging: Using SEEK thermal imaging cameras to see how heat travels and how different thermal barriers affect what firefighters can see.

Hydraulic Ventilation: Practicing techniques using hose streams to move heat and smoke out of a structure, improving visibility and conditions for firefighters.

Training like this helps our firefighters sharpen their skills, work together, and prepare for the real emergencies we respond to.

A big thank you to the Stacy-Lent Fire Department for providing the training facility!

For everyone's safety, please do not approach, chase, or attempt to capture the animals.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Never Forget 🇺🇸
Today, we pause to remember the lives lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001.
We especially honor the 343 FDNY firefighters who answered the call and never returned home. They ran toward danger while others were running away — fulfilling the promise every firefighter makes to serve when help is needed most.
We remember their courage.
We remember their sacrifice.
We remember their families, fellow first responders, and all those whose lives were forever changed that day.
343 firefighters. 343 brothers. Never forgotten.
🇺🇸 Never Forget. 9/11/2001

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of retired Assistant Chief Tom Alldritt.

Tom retired from the Chisago City Fire Department in 2015 after many years of dedicated service to our department and community. During his time with us, Tom served as a firefighter, Captain, Truck Chief, and Assistant Chief.

Tom was the kind of firefighter who was always willing to help, always willing to share what he knew, and—anyone who served with him will appreciate this—always ready with a question or two!

His dedication, leadership, and friendship left a lasting mark on our department and on the firefighters who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Our thoughts are with Tom’s family, friends, and all those who knew him.

Rest easy, Chief. We’ll take it from here.

Thomas “Tom” R. Alldritt
Retired Assistant Chief, Chisago City Fire Department
Retired 2015
