🚨 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS: KNOW WHEN TO CALL 911 🚨

🌪️ Isaias is rapidly strengthening and is forecast to become a Category 2 hurricane, with maximum winds potentially reaching 110 MPH while over the Gulf of America.

📍 Current forecast: Isaias is expected to approach the northern Gulf Coast Friday, with potential impacts to Northwest Florida and the Florida Panhandle. Current forecasts place the potential landfall window Friday night into early Saturday, but the exact track and intensity remain uncertain.

🔥 Eglin Fire & Emergency Services reminds you:

🌪️ BEFORE THE STORM
• Secure loose outdoor items and bring them inside.
• Have water, food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and chargers ready.
• Fuel your vehicle and know your evacuation route.
• Monitor official weather and emergency management updates.

📞 WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL 911?

Call 911 for an immediate threat to life, serious injury, or an emergency requiring immediate assistance, including:

🚨 Someone is seriously injured or experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency.
🔥 A fire, smoke, or suspected gas leak.
⚡ Downed power lines that are creating an immediate danger — stay away and never touch them.
🏠 A building has collapsed or is in danger of collapsing.
🌊 Someone is trapped by rising floodwater or unable to safely escape.
🆘 Someone is trapped, missing, or in immediate danger and cannot get themselves to safety.

DO NOT call 911 for:
❌ Power outages
❌ Road closures or flooding that does not involve an immediate life-threatening emergency
❌ Weather information
❌ Non-emergency requests for assistance

If it is not an emergency, use your local non-emergency resources and continue monitoring official emergency management updates.

⚠️ During the storm, NEVER put yourself or others in danger to help someone. If you can safely shelter in place, do so. First responders may be unable to reach you during the most dangerous conditions.

🌊 Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Never drive or walk through floodwater.

📱 Prepare now. Stay informed. Know when to call. Stay safe.

The End of an Era! 🚒

Today, Station 2 officially retired its 2002 TI3000 and welcomed a new Oshkosh UHP Striker 3000 into service.

Lt. Wesley Herbert (pictured) had the privilege of placing the original ARFF vehicle into service back in 2002. Today, 24 years later, he had the unique honor of placing its replacement into service.

From one era to the next, Lt. Herbert has been there for both. We felt it was a fitting way to mark the transition! 🚒🔥

🔥 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2026 🔥

This Fire Prevention Week, we’re “Charging Into Safety” by focusing on one of today’s growing fire hazards: lithium-ion batteries. 🔋⚡

From phones and laptops to e-bikes, scooters, power tools, and other rechargeable devices, lithium-ion batteries are part of our everyday lives—but when damaged, improperly charged, or overheated, they can become a serious fire hazard.

🧯 Charge Into Safety:
• Use the charger designed for your device.
• Never charge damaged or swollen batteries.
• Charge devices on a hard, flat surface—not on beds or couches.
• Keep batteries away from extreme heat and direct sunlight.
• Unplug devices once they are fully charged when recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never ignore warning signs such as excessive heat, swelling, leaking, hissing, or unusual odors.
• Dispose of damaged or recalled batteries properly—never place lithium-ion batteries in the trash.

A few simple habits can prevent a battery from becoming a fire.

Stay informed. Stay alert. Stay safe.
