👨🏿‍🚒HERO TRAINING GROUNDS 🚒 Construction is underway on Martin County Fire Rescue’s Training Facility, designed to prepare first responders for real world emergencies in a safe, controlled environment.

The foundation was laid this week for a 3,000 square foot training center featuring classrooms and support space. Outside, crews will train on a four acre driving course built for emergency vehicle operations, along with dedicated areas for vehicle extrication, special operations, and department wide safety training.

Overseen by our Capital Projects Division, this facility will strengthen training, improve coordination, and ensure our teams are ready when it matters most.

Station 18 opened its bay doors and welcomed dozens of people to another open house Saturday afternoon. 🔥🚒

Our firefighters led kids, parents and community members through guided tours of our apparatus and firehouse. Crews brought out bunker gear and extrication tools for a hands-on learning experience.

The day was full of many special visitors including the man who hand-crafted our station’s dining room table. He told us he spent more than 30 combined hours building it and seeing the finished piece in the station made the time and effort he put into it even more meaningful.

Thank you to IAFF Local 2959 for providing delicious pulled pork sandwiches, and thanks to all of YOU for visiting!

🔥MCFR & SFR FIREFIGHTERS EXTINGUISH MOBILE HOME FIRE IN STUART🔥

Martin County Fire Rescue & Stuart Fire Rescue units responded to reports of a mobile home fire just before noon Thursday in the 2500 block of S.W. Olds Place in Stuart.

Upon arrival, firefighters saw thick, black smoke coming from the structure and quickly made sure no one was inside. The neighbor that called 911 informed crews that the homeowner was not home. That same neighbor said they removed the homeowner’s cat from the house before units arrived. No injuries were reported.

Martin County Sheriff’s Office deputies also responded. No other structures were in danger. The cause of the fire is unknown. The State Fire Marshal has been notified and will investigate.

Great work by the following A-Shift crews: Ladder 23, Rescue 22, 211, 231 & 301, Engine 2 & 30, EMS 2, Battalion 3 & 5, & Prevention 2.

It’s and our team is emphasizing the importance of lithium-ion battery safety. In this video, Community Risk Reduction Specialist Josh Jenkins shares how the devices we use every day can become a fire hazard when batteries are damaged, overheated, overcharged or improperly handled.

🔋Charge smart:
• Only use the original, manufacturer-approved battery and charger that are designed for the device.
• Once a battery is fully charged, unplug it.
• Charge your device on a flat, dry surface. Do not charge anything on a soft surface like under a pillow or on a couch.

🔥Store smart:
• Keep devices and batteries away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Never crush, puncture or disassemble batteries.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place and keep them away from water and metal objects.

♻️ Proper Disposal:
• Never put lithium-ion batteries in your household trash or recycling bin.
• Martin County residents can drop off residential lithium batteries for FREE at the Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Center. More information about their hours and operations can be found on our website.

Plug in. Power up. Stay safe, Martin County.
