Due to severe weather expected in our area, the City of Eldorado will be testing the outdoor warning sirens today to ensure they are functioning properly.

This is only a test, but with storms in the forecast, we want to make sure our alert systems are ready if needed.

Please take this time to:
• Review your severe weather safety plan
• Make sure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts
• Secure any loose outdoor items
• Stay weather aware throughout the day

We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates if necessary.

Stay safe, Eldorado.

🚒 Training Night at Eldorado Fire Station 🚒

Tonight’s training focused on firefighter readiness and fundamentals. Members worked through donning and doffing full PPE, SCBA over-the-head donning, seat-mounted SCBA operations, and proper SCBA removal and preparation for reuse in accordance with IFSTA Essentials and NFPA standards.

These skills are critical to safety, efficiency, and accountability on the fireground. Training like this ensures our firefighters are ready to respond quickly and correctly when it matters most.

Proud of the hard work and dedication shown by our members tonight.
