Big thanks to State Farm for helping support the fire service in a big way!

Through a partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council, 500 laptops were distributed to 100 volunteer fire departments across the country. 💻🚒

This generous donation will help departments enhance reporting, expand training opportunities, and improve day-to-day operations—keeping crews better prepared to serve their communities.

Support like this makes a real difference.

Thank you Firefighter Kilgallon for putting in the work and submitting the grant.

Checking out our new cascade system and getting hands-on with filling SCBA bottles 💨🔥

So what exactly is a cascade system? It’s a setup of multiple high-pressure air cylinders that allows us to refill our air packs quickly and efficiently on scene. By filling bottles in stages, we’re able to maximize the air we have and keep our firefighters supplied without waiting on outside resources.

On a fire scene, this means our interior crews can stay safer, work longer, and rotate back in faster with full bottles of clean air. It’s a critical tool that helps us keep operations moving and protects the people doing the toughest jobs inside.
