Today, Recruit Class 26-01 receives their badges.
As they do, let’s look back at the weeks of training that brought them here.

Physical endurance. Live fire. EMS. Long days spent preparing for the moments when others will depend on them.

Throughout it all, one message: “Nobody cares. Work harder.”

Because when someone calls 911 on the worst day of their life, they don’t care that you’re tired. That you’re hot. That you’re having a bad day.

They just need you to show up ready.

Today, the training ends. Now it’s time to get to work. 🚒🔥

Just after 9:45 this morning, FLFR crews responded to a mobile home fire along the 1000 block of NE 63rd Court.

Firefighters arrived to find the home engulfed in flames. One resident safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported.

Crews used water and firefighting foam to extinguish the fire in about 20 minutes. A pet cat believed to have been inside could not be located.

Two people have been displaced and are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
