Fire safety starts early! 🔥

This morning, Langford Firefighters visited Oakdale Elementary School to teach students how to stay safe, including Stop, Drop & Roll and the importance of smoke alarms. We're proud to support our community's youngest members.

Thank you, Oakdale! ❤️🚒

At 9:59pm Sunday evening, Langford crews were called out to an active attic fire on Luckney Road. Upon arrival, we found heavy smoke conditions and active fire showing over the garage. Flowood FD was called for a ladder truck and additional crews were called in to assist. Several county departments also assisted with establishing additional water supply. Approximately 70,000 gallons of water was shuttled to supplement the municipal supply. Despite several attempts to attack the fire from the interior, crews ultimately had to take a defensive strategy and the home was a total loss. Fortunately the family had been alerted to the fire and was able to escape, only minor injuries were reported. Crews remained on scene until approximately 5:00AM.

We appreciate the help of Rankin County Emergency Operations Pafford EMS Mississippi Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department Lake Harbor Volunteer Fire Department Monterey Vfd Robinhood Fire Department Walters Volunteer Fire Station and Rankin County Sheriffs Office for their help bringing this fire under control.

Happy Labor Day from the Langford Volunteer Fire Department!

Labor Day was established to recognize the contributions and achievements of American workers and the generations of hardworking men and women who helped build and strengthen our communities and our country.

Today, we honor those workers — past and present — and hope everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a safe and restful holiday with family and friends.

While many enjoy a well-earned day off, our volunteers remain ready to answer the call whenever our community needs us.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day from all of us at Langford Volunteer Fire Department!

Last night, members of Langford Volunteer Fire Department spent the evening training on forcible entry techniques at Reservoir Fire Department.

Hands-on training like this gives our volunteers the opportunity to practice the skills needed to make quick, safe entry during emergencies when every second matters.

A big thank you to Reservoir Fire Department for allowing us to use their forcible-entry prop.

Strong departments make stronger communities, and we’re always grateful for the chance to learn more!

We train so we’re ready when the call comes.

If you use a community crime reporting app on your phone and received a notification like this earlier, it is a FALSE ALARM. Please report is as such.

At 11:42 AM today, Langford began receiving calls related to an alert on the app Crime Radar related to a mutual aid request for 2 firefighters that had entered a residential structure fire looking for persons trapped, had called a mayday, and had no communications since. At the time, Langford FD was not on any calls. After coordinating with other neighboring agencies, it was determined that this traffic was communicated over PRIVATE radio channels during a TRAINING exercise.

It should be noted that these apps monitor public radio waves and use AI to process and transcribe. The information they broadcast to you should always be verified independently.

It should also be noted that our hearts are warm knowing our brothers have our back. Should the unfortunate situation ever arise, know that we will have yours too!

There’s no such thing as an “off day” when it comes to being ready.

Today, members of the Langford Volunteer Fire Department took advantage of some downtime for a random gear workout—getting the heart rate up, working in full turnout gear, and building the endurance it takes to do the job when conditions are hot, heavy, and demanding.

We train because when the tones drop, there’s no warm-up and no second chance to get ready. Whether it’s a scheduled drill or an impromptu workout at the station, every rep makes us better prepared to serve our community.

We train. We sweat. We stay ready.
