Today, we honor and remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice, and those who continue to battle the lasting effects of their service that day.

We will never forget.

This past weekend, our department hosted a two-day ventilation training, giving our crews the opportunity to train alongside Instructor Sandy O’Malley with The Colony Fire Department. Over the course of two days, crews gained valuable hands-on experience in ventilation techniques, along with classroom instruction focused on saw operations.

A huge thank you to Instructor O’Malley for making the trip and sharing his knowledge and experience with our members. 🔥
