At approximately 0640 hours, the Green Bay Metro Fire Department (GBMFD) was dispatched to 2280 East Mason Street – PetSmart – following reports of gray smoke and an electrical odor exiting the building.

First arriving crews encountered light to moderate smoke throughout the structure. Upon arrival, the building's fire alarm and fire protection sprinkler systems were activated. Engine 451 quickly located and extinguished the fire.

The fire suppression system activated as designed, protecting the structure from further damage. Early detection and prompt activation of the 911 system contributed to a rapid response that saved both property and numerous small animals.

Following extinguishment, crews assisted in the removal of pets from the structure. A small number of fish did not survive the incident. However, many fish and small pets were successfully saved. No large animals were present at the time of the fire. All surviving pets were safely transported to other PetSmart locations throughout the Fox Valley region.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

This year marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and we invite our community to join us in honoring the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is a powerful opportunity to reflect, remember, and pay tribute to those who gave their lives in service to others. Participants will climb the equivalent of 110 stories, the height of the World Trade Center towers, while carrying the name and photo of one of the fallen firefighters.

Whether you're a firefighter, first responder, family member, or community supporter, we encourage you to join us for this meaningful event. All funds raised support the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and its mission to honor fallen firefighters and support their families.

🎉 Congratulations to our Green Bay Metro Fire Department Cadets 🎉

Earlier this week, our cadets wrapped up an incredible 9 months of training — showcasing their skills in emergency medical care, fire attack, vehicle extrication, hazardous materials, SCBA, marine rescue, aerial/ladder work, and more in front of their proud families.

This program gives students ages 14–20 the opportunity to explore a career in fire and EMS, and watching them grow throughout the year never gets old.

Great work to each and every one of you! 🚒🔥

❤️🚒🚑 Moments like these are why we do what we do.🚑🚒❤️

Yesterday, our crews received a visit that reminded all of us why we answer the call. The individuals rescued from a recent structure fire stopped by the station to personally thank the firefighters who pulled them to safety from the burning structure and the paramedics who cared for them.

The gratitude they expressed was humbling — but the smiles on everyone's faces said it all. These are the moments that go far beyond the job.

To our crews: you make this community proud every single day. To the family who visited: thank you for taking the time to come see us. Seeing you safe and healthy is the greatest reward we could ask for. 💛
