National First Responders Day

Today, October 28th, we recognize and honor the brave men and women who answer the call when others need help the most.

From our firefighters and law enforcement officers, EMS professionals, 911 telecommunicators, and all those who serve on the front lines, we thank you for your dedication, courage, and commitment to protecting our communities.

Behind every emergency response is a team of individuals who sacrifice time with their families, face the unknown, and work tirelessly to help others during their most difficult moments. Some respond in the field, while others work behind the scenes, answering the calls, gathering critical information, and coordinating the resources that save lives.

Today, we honor every first responder seen and unseen who makes a difference when it matters most.

To all our first responders, thank you for your service, your sacrifices, and your unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe. Your work does not go unnoticed, and your dedication makes a difference every single day.

If you know a first responder, take a moment today to thank them for what they do!

School is back in session on Monday, August 10th! As students head back to the classroom, Crescent City Fire Department - Station 3 reminds everyone to slow down, stay alert, and help keep our children safe.

Here are a few important safety reminders: Slow down in school zones and obey all posted speed limits.Stop for school buses when the stop arm is extended and the red lights are flashing. Watch carefully for children crossing streets, especially near schools, neighborhoods, and bus stops. Put your phone away and avoid distractions while driving.

If your child rides a bike, make sure they wear a properly fitted helmet.

Talk with your children about using crosswalks, looking both ways before crossing, and staying aware of traffic.

A few extra seconds of caution can make all the difference. Let's work together to ensure every student, teacher, and school employee has a safe and successful start to the new school year.

From all of us at Crescent City Fire Rescue, we wish everyone a safe, fun, and successful school year!

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. Memorial Day is more than just the start of summer — it is a day to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who gave everything to protect them. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
As we gather with family and friends this holiday, please celebrate responsibly and keep safety in mind:

• Stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat
• Never drink and drive — always plan for a sober ride home
• Use extra caution while grilling, towing boats, or operating ATVs
• Keep an eye on children around pools and waterways
• Check on elderly neighbors and loved ones during the hot weather

Please also remember that a burn ban remains in effect due to the extremely dry conditions across our area. Avoid any outdoor burning activities, properly dispose of ci******es, and use caution with grills, fireworks, and anything that could spark a wildfire. One small mistake can quickly become a dangerous fire emergency.

From all of us at Crescent City Fire Department - Station 3 , thank you to the heroes who gave their lives in service to our nation. We honor you today and every day.
