Two years ago today, we lost Firefighter Joe Altorelli.

Today, we remember him, honor his service, and keep his memory alive. He will always be a part of our fire service family. ❤️

🚒📚 And they’re off! What a beautiful morning to kick off the 2026–27 school year!

Acting Fire Chief Dunstan and Police Chief Pedroso were out bright and early to welcome some of our students as they arrived for their first day of classes.

To all our students, teachers, staff, and families: have an amazing, safe, and successful school year!

We’d like to thank these two local business owners for their incredibly generous donation to our department. Thank you for thinking of us and for supporting your local fire department!

We love what we do and never expect anything in return. That’s why we’re especially grateful when members of our community choose to give back and support us.

24/7, through birthdays and all of life’s moments, your firehouse family is there. 🚒🎂 We had fun celebrating Master Technician Keith Virts on his birthday at the station the other day.

Cake and ice cream are mandatory, but we can’t promise the birthday singing will be as good as your family’s. Yeah, we tell it like it is! 😉

Happy Birthday, Keith! 🎉

We always enjoy having visitors stop by to see what we do, but it's even more special when they're family. Recently, B-Shift had the pleasure of hosting Lt. Wade Munday's son for a visit. He got a firsthand look at the fire service and learned more about what we do every day.

A few clouds didn’t stop these young entrepreneurs from serving up some refreshing lemonade! ☁️🍋

Our crew came across their stand before the rain rolled in, and it was a sweet stop in between calls. Thanks for the refreshing pick-me-up! 🚒

We love partnering with the Parks and Recreation Camps for the Fire Safety Olympics! 🚒

The kids brought their energy, teamwork, and competitive spirit as they took on each challenge. From racing through the events to cooling off with the hose, everyone had a great time. We had a blast spending the day with such an awesome group of campers! 💦😄
