Yesterday Mrs. Braylyn preschool came to the fire station for a visit! We look forward to some familiar faces every year for fire prevention month. We talked about fire safety, toured our fire trucks, sprayed the hose, and hung out with Sparky.

Mrs. Braylyn is especially close to us and the previous owner of Miss Connie’s preschool. Braylyn took over the preschool Miss Connie taught and continued the fire station field trip. They love coming to see our ladder truck we dedicated to, “Miss Connie.” We loved our visits with Miss Connie and we still look forward to them every year! Thank you guys for coming by and hanging out with our shift yesterday! We hope everyone enjoyed their trip!

Wow! What a busy week we have had for fire prevention!
This week we have visited Peculiar Kids, Caneview Elementary, Jefferson Island Elementary, Loreauville Elementary, and Delcambre Elementary. We were able to speak with the students about fire safety, important reminders to remember in case of an emergency, see the fire trucks, and they got to meet Sparky!
We would also like to thank our dispatchers for making an appearance and talking about what actually happens when you dial 911!

Fire prevention month is the best time for us to meet a lot of kids within our community and have important teaching moments with each of them. Thank you to all the schools for allowing us to be able to spend some time this week! We still have a few more stops throughout the month and we are looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Today we es**rted our Captain, Jonathan Dunbar, on his final ride home. This has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone whose lives he has touched.
One grand es**rt, lined up with fellow brothers and sisters to honor him. The final ride for Dunbar is our thank you to him. A thank you to his service, his dedication, and to his commitment to not only everyone at IPFD #1 but also to his community. We mourn the loss of one of our own while also remembering who he was and what he selflessly gave to everyone.
Our hearts remain with his family as they are still trying to process this unimaginable grief.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of one of our own. Jonathan Dunbar tragically passed away early Sunday morning.

Jonathan was a captain on C shift, with 14 dedicated years of service. He brought great knowledge to the fire service, hard work, drive, and earned respect among his crew. His leadership and strong personality will be deeply missed. We will remember Dunbar, as we knew him, from all of his years of service, the brotherhood, and the close relationships formed through time. He will be remembered when we climb upon the truck every shift, and may we honor his service every time.

All of our thoughts and prayers at this time are with his wife, his children, and his family as they navigate through this unimaginable loss. We are deeply saddened at this devastating tragedy. We are grateful for the many years we were given to have known him. May he rest in peace.

On Thursday we had some students from Magnolia Elementary school come to the station. We got to show them all the fire trucks, they got to see our fireman in gear, play with some hose lines, and even see Sparky! We enjoyed having them on Thursday morning, and we hope that they had a great time as well! Thank you guys for coming by and giving us the time to make your morning memorable!

This morning our crew on C-shift visited Gingerbread House CLC here in town. They got to talk a little bit about fire safety, show the students the fire truck, and most importantly Sparky was there to hang out!
C-shift also visited Gingerbread’s second location last week and were able to meet and talk with the students there.
Fire Prevention will be here before we know it, and we will be able to meet more of the students in our area and visit more schools! We enjoy getting the opportunity to get out in public and talk about all the exciting things the fire service has to offer!
