Career Day at Hughes Elementary School

Many people have asked "What's a normal day at the fire station is like?"
The Fort Worth Fire Department has three shifts (A,B,C), each shift works 24hour (08:00-08:00) 24hrs on and 48hrs off.
The custom on our department is that we arrive early, 7 a.m. We start our day by relieving the fireman before us and getting important information from the previous shifts over coffee such as needed maintenance on equipment that may have broken the previous day, etc...
•08:00 check out the apparatus and all tools. •09:00-13:00 station cleanup, training, grocery shopping, then lunch.
•13:00-16:00 Mapsco (territory study), weight/cardio workout, Fire/EMS CE's or training to stay up on our skills.
•17:00-19:00 dinner
•19:00-22:00 time to complete reports, check emails, shower
•22:00-07:00 Quiet time (not guaranteed)

This schedule does not include the emergency calls our engine, quint and rescue make daily, commercial inspections, hydrant inspections, show-N-tells, and station tours.

Thank you citizens of Fort Worth for the opportunity to serve our great city. This post should give you some insight to what a normal station day can include but of course there is always a surprise.

The Fort Worth Fire Department is relieved to be able to release some positive details from yesterday's residential fire that sent one resident and a firefighter to Parkland Hospital. Firefighter Brandon McCulloch, a nine-year veteran of the department who is currently assigned to Station 14, continues to make improvements and is expected to make a full recovery. McCulloch suffered a respiratory injury while rescuing a resident, who was also injured, from a structure fire in a detached garage on the east side of Fort Worth. We continue to keep the injured resident in our thoughts and prayers. FWFD investigators continue to work the incident to determine the cause of the fire.
