Every August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) brings a global community together to take action on overdose. For 25 years, International Overdose Awareness Day has brought people together to remember those we’ve lost and to take action to save lives.

The truth is, we shouldn’t still need this day. But we do. Overdose continues to affect every community. We know how to reduce risk and keep people safe. By speaking openly, learning from one another, and treating each other with care and respect, we build a world where fewer lives are lost.

While this day is still needed, it doesn’t have to be forever. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, call 211 or visit www.addictionhelpwi.org.

This week, the Citizens Academy stepped into the world of modern law enforcement technology and decision-making.

They got an up close look at the Hartford Police Department UAV/drone program, including the equipment, capabilities, and ways drones can be used to support public safety operations.

Then it was time to go hands-on with an interactive use-of-force simulator. Participants were placed into realistic scenarios where they had to quickly assess what was happening, communicate, recognize potential threats, and decide how to respond.

It’s one thing to watch these situations from the outside. It’s another to experience how quickly they develop and how many decisions have to be made in just a few seconds.

Throughout the week, fire, EMS, and law enforcement agencies from across Washington County, Wisconsin trained side-by-side for active shooter response.

These are situations no community ever wants to face, but preparation, communication, and coordination matter when seconds count.

One county, multiple agencies, and one mission: be ready when it matters most!

A huge thank you to Kelmann Restoration and the Kelmann Cares Foundation for supporting the health and safety of our firefighters!

Through their generous grant, our apparatus and SCBA face pieces received professional decontamination to help remove contaminants that can accumulate through emergency response. Firefighter cancer remains one of the most significant occupational health concerns in the fire service. Reducing exposure to soot, smoke residue, and other carcinogenic contaminants on our gear, equipment, and apparatus is an important part of protecting our members long after the call is over.

We appreciate Kelmann Restoration investing in the people who serve our community and helping us keep clean cab and cancer-reduction practices at the forefront.

Week 2 of our Joint Citizens Academy was all about confidence, stepping outside of comfort zones, and facing a few fears along the way.

Participants got hands-on experience running chainsaws, gearing up in full firefighter turnout gear and SCBA, and then finished things off with a trip 105 feet in the air for a one of a kind view of downtown Hartford.

Today, on National Senior Citizens Day, we’re proud to recognize the older adults who make our community such a special place.

Through our S.A.F.E. smoke alarm program, and our H.E.L.L.P. Home Entry Lockbox Loaner Program, Hartford Fire & Rescue can help seniors remain safe, independent, and in their own homes longer.

Message us to schedule a home safety visit and learn how these programs may help you or a loved one.

You might see us out around town over the next few days with hose stretched and flowing water.
Every length of hose on our apparatus is inspected and pressure tested annually to NFPA standards to make sure it’s ready when we need it. Testing helps identify worn couplings, damaged hose, leaks, or other issues before they become a problem on the fireground.
Let us know in the comments below how many feet of hose you think we’ll test this month. At the end of the month, we’ll be sure to share the results!

Earlier this year, the Hartford Women's Club GFWC presented us with a generous donation that was able to significantly offset the cost to upgrade our equipment.

Each of our paramedic ambulances is now equipped with a Glide Scope Go 2 for advanced patient intubation and airway management, a notable improvement from our previous intubation equipment. In addition, we have equipped three of our first due Engines with a Sensit HXG-2d for Combustible Gas detection and an MSA Altair 4XR to measure Explosive Limits, Oxygen, H2S, and CO levels.

Donations like these go a great distance in enhancing our response capabilities. We cannot thank them enough!
