Protecting our furry friends: Celebrating Pet Safety Day! Three quick reminders for our four-legged friends. Hydration doesn’t just matter for us during the heat. Keep your pets hydrated and make sure water is available at all times. Also, don’t forget surface temperatures are a lot hotter than the given temperature , walk them on softer surfaces like grass or dirt. And above all do not ever leave your car pet in the car. Not even for just a moment. And remember dogs can lock themselves in a car so always be aware.

How to Use a Fire Extinguisher
Using a fire extinguisher follows the P.A.S.S. acronym:
Pull: Pull the pin. This will break the tamper seal.
Aim: Aim low, pointing the extinguisher nozzle or hose at the base of the fire.
Squeeze: Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
Sweep: Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire until it’s out. Keep a safe distance and watch for re-ignition.

Last week some of our members were in Tuscaloosa, Alabama at the Alabama Fire College taking a Structural Collapse Class.

Earlier today our crews, with the assistance of the Cypress Creek Fire Department, extinguished a house fire in the Carriage Lane Subdivision.
The homeowners were not home, but unfortunately a pet did not survive.
The cause is still under investigation.
In this video, crews from Fire Station 2 were tasked with vertical ventilation. That requires the crew to get on the roof and cut a hole using gas powered saws. This tactic allows hot gases, smoke and fire to escape and make the conditions inside the house more tolerable for the crews that are interior putting out the fire.
