Shawnee Fire District recently received a generous $5,000 donation from Erie Insurance, which was used toward the purchase of nine new MSA Cairns 1836 fire helmets for our members.

Quality protective equipment is essential to keeping our firefighters safe while they’re serving our community, and investments like this help us continue providing our crews with the equipment they need without placing the entire financial burden on our district and taxpayers.

We are incredibly grateful to Erie Insurance for supporting local first responders and helping us protect those who protect our community.

Thank you, Erie Insurance, for your generosity and support of Shawnee Fire District

This water rescue happened just feet outside of our district last night.

With the amount of rain our area has received recently, we cannot stress this enough: never attempt to drive through water covering the roadway.

It doesn’t matter if you know the road. It doesn’t matter if you’ve driven through water there before. You cannot see how deep it is, how strong the current may be, or whether the roadway underneath has been compromised.

A few extra minutes taking another route is always worth it. Turn around, don’t drown.

Did you know there’s a whole science behind firefighting techniques?

Firefighting is about much more than putting water on a fire. Understanding how fire, heat, smoke, and air move through a structure can have a major impact on how we approach an emergency.

This week’s training, led by Assistant Chief Kolonis, focused on horizontal and vertical ventilation and the strategy behind when, where, and how ventilation is performed. Crews discussed how properly coordinated ventilation can help control smoke and heat, improve interior conditions, and support fire attack and search operations.

Regular training like this keeps our members learning, sharpening their skills, and prepared to make critical decisions when it matters most.

Train often. Stay ready. Serve well.
