Yesterday, we went to see our friends at Washington Elementary to show everyone our fire trucks up close (with an extra helping of Fire Safety, of course 😉)

We had a lot of fun and we hope you did too!

East Chicago! Fire Prevention Month continues here for us. Today, 1 Turn visited our friends at St. Stanislaus East Chicago where we raced to see who got their gear on the fastest! Thanks for giving us the floor to tell you about fire safety!

Last Saturday, East Chicago showed up and we had a blast! From hots dogs to K9 demos to whoever dressed up as the dalmatian running out of the fire tower, we were so excited to have YOU there with us.

Thank you for stopping by and seeing what we're about 🧑‍🚒👩‍🚒👨‍🚒

Fire Prevention Month continues all month long! So, keep us tuned in to see what we'll do next.

Please see below for Chief's Thank You Letter to our Open House this year. It takes more than one person to pull this event off and we'd love to share our gratitude with our E.C. community and beyond for making this happen.
