There’s nothing better than bringing our community together! 🚒 Our crews had an absolute blast spending Fire Safety Week with our local Pre-K through 2nd graders. From teaching life-saving safety tips to letting the kids spray the hose and explore the trucks, we’re so proud to protect and serve such an amazing community.

Thank you for welcoming us into your classrooms!

“No day shall erase you from the memory of time.”

Some promises are meant to last forever.
Today, the fire service pauses to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We honor the civilians, the innocent souls, and the 343 brave firefighters of the FDNY who answered the ultimate call, walking into the smoke and darkness so that others might live.

We remember their names, their courage, and the unwavering brotherhood they embodied. We remember the first responders from every agency who rushed toward danger, and we stand alongside the families who continue to carry the heavy weight of that loss every single day.

Wherever you are today, take a moment. Put the gear down, step away from the noise, take a deep breath, and pause to remember.
Say a prayer for those we lost, for their families, and for every first responder currently wearing the uniform who carries their legacy forward.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget the 343.
