A little bit of drill tower fun at training tonight!

We even had a special Halloween guest 🤡 with us tonight, who we guess doesn't realize it's already November!

Yesterday we joined our public service brothers and sisters in saying goodbye to our friend Gregory "Savvy" Savoy, retired Fire Chief of the Acadia/Evangeline (Basile) Fire District.

Asst. Chief LeDoux and Capt. Feazell were asked to assist with pallbearer duties. It was a true honor to do that for our friend.

We send our thoughts and prayers to the Savoy family, his fire service family, and the entire Basile community.

🚒🔥 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2026 🔥🚒

🧯 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

You probably know where your fire extinguisher is.

But when was the last time you actually looked at it?

Take two minutes today and check:

🧯 Can you get to it quickly — or is it buried behind stuff?
🧯 Is the pressure gauge in the proper range?
🧯 Does it show any damage, rust or leakage?
🧯 Do the people in your home or business know where it is?
🧯 And most importantly… do you know how to use it?

Having a fire extinguisher and being prepared to use one are two very different things.

Go find yours today and take a look. Then come back later — we’re going to show you the simple PASS method for using one.

Together, we can help protect our homes, businesses, and loved ones.
