Our Logistics Chief has been out of the office the past couple of days ensuring our apparatus are fully equipped and mission ready. Chief Coleman has been working on installing and verifying backup cameras, scene lighting, wheel chocks, and making sure all systems are properly mounted and fully operational on several of our trucks.

These upgrades help improve safety, efficiency, and visibility on every call.

Today, Battalion 1 conducted fire extinguisher training at SpringHill Suites, providing staff with valuable hands on experience in fire safety and emergency response. Participants learned about different classes of fire, proper extinguisher selection, and the P.A.S.S. method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) to safely and effectively operate a fire extinguisher.

Hands-on training helps build confidence and prepares employees to respond quickly and appropriately during an emergency.

Congratulations Eric!
