🇺🇸 Before we thank you for your service, we want to remember what that service asked of you.

Time away from home. Holidays with an empty seat at the table. Missed milestones. Families waiting for a phone call. Responsibilities and experiences that can be difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t lived them.

Today, the Iberville Firefighters Association honors every veteran in our community—and the families who stood beside them. To the veterans who traded military uniforms for turnout gear, an EMS uniform, or another role serving their neighbors: we are grateful that you continue to give so much of yourselves. And to those whose service is now a quieter chapter of their lives: you do not have to wear a uniform for your service to matter. We remember.

We also recognize that Veterans Day can bring pride, friendship, grief, and complicated memories. However today feels for you, you have our respect and a place in this community. Thank you for the years you gave, the burdens you carried, and the people you served alongside. We hope you feel appreciated today—and supported throughout the year. ❤️🤍💙

If you’re a veteran, we’d be honored to know your branch of service. Families, you’re welcome to recognize your veteran below, too. 🇺🇸

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM GROSSE TETE & ROSEDALE! 🚨

Well, well, well… LOOK WHO FINALLY JOINED THE 21ST CENTURY! 😂🔥

The Grosse Tete/Rosedale Fire Grosse Tete/Rosedale Volunteer Fire Department has a BRAND NEW page, and we're gonna need y'all to show them some love!

These folks have been putting out fires, answering calls, and serving their communities long before Facebook was even a twinkle in Zuckerberg's eye. Now they're officially entering the world of likes, shares, comments, and people asking, "What's going on? I heard sirens!" 👀🤣

And before anybody asks…

🚒 No, they don't know why your neighbor's dog is barking.

🚒 No, they can't tell you why that helicopter flew over your house.

🚒 And NO, a fire truck driving down the road does not automatically mean somebody's house is on fire. Sometimes they're just going to get gas, Karen! 💀😂

But what they CAN do is keep y'all informed about department happenings, fire safety, training, and the dedicated folks who show up when things go sideways.

🔥 So go LIKE, FOLLOW, and SHARE their new page!

Because if y'all can share 47 posts about a missing cow, a suspicious truck, and somebody's cousin's baby daddy drama, you can certainly share something that actually benefits your community! 🤣

❤️ Support your local firefighters. They're the ones running IN when everybody else is running OUT.

🚒 SINGLE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN YOUR AREA LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL ACTUALLY SHOW UP.

Name: Your Local Fire Department
Interests: Helping neighbors, training nights, and asking, “Who put this back like that?”
Love language: Returning equipment where it belongs.
Relationship goals: Long-term commitment. Preferably longer than the application process.

Green flags: Willing to learn. Works well with others. Answers messages.
Red flags: Mostly on the trucks. They flash.

Our most recent date? Friday night training, sponsored by Plaquemine Fire Department, with Acadian Air Med . They brought a helicopter. Your last date brought “I forgot my wallet.” 🚁💅

And honestly? PFD and Acadian Air Med have set the bar pretty high.

A huge thank-you to PFD for sponsoring this opportunity and bringing departments together. Making room for other crews to learn alongside you is an investment in the entire community. We appreciate the time, planning, and commitment it takes to make a night like this possible. That’s leadership worth recognizing. 👏

And to Acadian Air Med—thank you for bringing more than an impressive aircraft. Thank you for sharing your expertise, answering questions, and helping the responders on the ground better understand the team in the air. Your willingness to teach and build those connections means a great deal to the crews who may one day be calling on you for a patient who needs you.

Excellent first-date behavior. We would absolutely train with you again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beneath the jokes, there’s a reason these nights matter.

When several departments arrive at an emergency, we need to work together—even if we wear different patches. Training gives us time to ask questions, understand each other’s responsibilities, and build trust before we’re meeting beside a patient on someone’s worst day.

Thank you to every responder who showed up ready to learn. The time you put in now matters to the families we serve. ❤️

And a thank-you to Embers & Grace Ministries, Inc., for bringing snacks and stickers! Because apparently our love language also includes snacks. Showing up with a tray instead of “hey” already puts you ahead of half the dating pool. 😉❤️

Interested? You don’t have to know everything. You do have to be willing to learn. Contact your local fire department and ask about volunteering.

We’re looking for a spark. Please don’t create an actual one to get our attention. 😉

🥶🚒 LOUISIANA WINTER: SIX HOURS LONG. SPACE HEATER SAFETY: EVERY TIME.

We know. It was air-conditioning weather yesterday. But before you drag that heater out:

🔥 Keep anything that can burn at least THREE FEET away.
🔥 Turn space heaters off before leaving the room or going to sleep.
🔥 Never use your oven to heat your house.
🔥 Have heating equipment and chimneys professionally inspected each year.

Stay warm, Iberville. Let’s keep the heat where it belongs.

🚒🎡 East Iberville understood the assignment: stand by at Fall Fest. Somebody heard “stand by the funnel cake.” 😂

Our East Iberville crew was on standby for the 1st Annual St. Gabriel Fall Fest, keeping watch while the community enjoyed a night of carnival fun.

And then we received photographic evidence of that dessert. Ice cream. Chocolate. Funnel cake. A paper plate carrying more responsibility than it was manufactured for. 🫡

We’re calling that last photo of the plate “Exhibit A.” The fork has requested an additional alarm.

Thank you to the crew for being there for St. Gabriel—and to everyone who helped bring this first festival to life! ❤️

If this is how y’all do year ONE, we need to be present for year TWO. Come for the rides, stay for the fun, and bring somebody who says, “I don’t want anything,” then eats half your funnel cake. We all know one. 👀

Who went—and what should everyone try next time? 👇

🚒 LIKE, SHARE, FOLLOW, and JOIN YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT! Serving your community comes with good people. Funnel cake availability may vary.

- November 20–27: Northbound

⏰ 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM ONLY

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, use alternate routes, and exercise caution around construction crews.

All work is weather permitting, and we will continue to provide updates as the project progresses. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve our roadways!

🍂⏰ FALL BACK. DON’T SLACK. 🚒

Sunday, November 1, we turn the clocks back one hour.

Boudreaux, while you’re wandering around changing clocks and arguing with the microwave, CHECK YOUR SMOKE ALARMS.

That little chirp isn’t a cricket with an attitude. And taking the battery out is not “fixing it.” 😂

🔋 Check the batteries. Replace removable batteries at least yearly—or sooner when the low-battery warning sounds. Follow your alarm’s instructions.

👆 Press the test button. Test every smoke alarm monthly. Looking up and saying, “Yep, still there,” does not count.

📅 Check its age. Replace smoke alarms at 10 years, or sooner if they fail. If yours has survived three couches and a kitchen renovation, check that date.

🔒 Sealed 10-year battery? Keep testing it monthly. The battery stays sealed; replace the whole alarm when it reaches the end of its life.

❤️ NO WORKING SMOKE DETECTOR? LET US HELP.

Firefighters will come to homes without working smoke detectors and provide and install a FREE detector.

Scan the QR code on this graphic to request one. No need to balance on a kitchen chair and make this a two-part rescue.

Check on your parents, grandparents, and neighbors, too. Help them submit a request if they need one.

The extra hour is free. So is the detector. Let’s put both to good use.

🚨 MAIS, CHER. YOUR GENERATOR IS NOT A HOUSE PET. QUIT KEEPING IT BY THE DOOR. 🚨

The power goes out for twelve minutes and suddenly everybody’s uncle is an electrician.

He’s got a generator, three questionable extension cords, and the confidence of a man who has never read a warning label.

“I know what I’m doing.”

Wonderful. Let’s give the rest of the family a fighting chance, too. 🚒

🔌 OUTSIDE. AT LEAST 20 FEET FROM HOMES AND BUILDINGS.
Keep it away from doors, windows, and vents, with the exhaust pointed away from buildings.

Not on the porch.
Not in the carport.
Not underneath Mawmaw’s bedroom window.

If Mawmaw can reach out and turn it off, you have misunderstood the assignment.

🚪 THE GARAGE IS STILL THE GARAGE WITH THE DOOR OPEN.

“But I put a fan—”

No.

“But the wind—”

No.

“But my daddy always—”

We are delighted your daddy survived. We are not adopting his research methods.

☠️ CARBON MONOXIDE IS INVISIBLE AND ODORLESS.

You can smell somebody putting tomatoes in the gumbo from the parish line.

You cannot smell CO.

Your nose has culinary credentials. It does not have a gas-detection certification.

🚨 INSTALL WORKING CO ALARMS.
Every level. Outside sleeping areas. Battery-operated or with battery backup. Test monthly.

And check the label: **a smoke alarm alone does NOT detect carbon monoxide.**

“That thing goes off when I fry pork chops.”

Congratulations. That tells us absolutely nothing about whether it detects CO.

⛽ TURN IT OFF AND LET IT COOL BEFORE REFUELING.

A hot generator and spilled gasoline can start a fire.

We asked you to power the refrigerator, not flambé the driveway.

⚡ NEVER PLUG A GENERATOR INTO A WALL OUTLET.
That’s backfeeding. It can electrocute utility workers and others. Connecting to house wiring requires properly installed transfer equipment.

If your setup includes the words **“homemade cord”** and **“just don’t touch that end,”** we need you to put down the b**r and step away from your invention.

🚑 CO ALARM SOUNDING? GET OUTSIDE AND CALL 911.
Headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, or confusion while a generator is running? Get everyone into fresh air immediately and call 911.

Do not lie down and see if it passes. Do not stay inside investigating.

We love y’all. We want your gumbo recipes, your fishing stories, and your wildly exaggerated hurricane accounts.

We do not want to meet the whole family in matching oxygen masks.

Share this with the person who treats the owner’s manual like it personally insulted their intelligence. ❤️🚒

🔥 IFFA — Fire Safety Week Finale at St. John: Tiny Humans, Big Catholic Energy

We wrapped up Fire Safety Prevention Week at St. John, teaching about 100 little scholars who were calm, respectful, and honestly a blessing after a week of educating 900+ youngins across Iberville Parish.

We covered the basics:
Stop, Drop & Roll (the fire service’s version of genuflecting)
Crawl Low Under Smoke (very “bow your head and be humble”)
Call 9‑1‑1 (for emergencies only — not because “I wanted to see who answers”)

And then… Just when the firefighters were packing up… Just when Chaplain Jenn was rolling out like she was qualifying for Daytona — guardian angel clinging to the rearview like, “Ma’am PLEASE”…

The entire 2nd grade lined up with the coordination of a school Mass and broke into a full Dance Monkey performance. No warning. No announcement. Song came on and all those tiny humans deciding, “We will now give y’all a show.”

It was easily the most entertaining moment of the week — joyful, hilarious, and absolutely perfect.

🙏 We’re not naming names — they asked us not to. Very humble. Very “don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” (Matthew 6:3 But let’s just say… a certain beloved Plaquemine spot — the one known for having the BEST breakfast sammiches on God’s green earth — donated breakfast to Embers & Grace Ministries, Inc. this morning.

My Babies… It turned into the Running of the Bulls, Plaquemine edition. GROWN MEN were sprinting. Scrambling. Diving. One nearly slid into the bleachers trying to get a breakfast sammich.

Those sammiches are legendary — and they fueled the whole crew through the final stretch of Fire Safety Week. A quiet act of kindness. A loud reaction. And we are grateful.

Fire Safety Week: complete. 900+ kids: taught. St. John: entertained us. IFFA: fed, tired, grateful… and still laughing.

Until next time y'all!
