We will never forget the thousands that lost their lives during the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the many who made the ultimate sacrifice. Many first responders, law enforcement, and civilians are still coping with the aftermath of the event, 22 years later.

Please take some time today to remember and educate our younger generations of the events that took place surrounding September 11, 2001. Please honor those lost, those still suffering, and those who dedicated their time to both the recovery efforts and ongoing support services.

National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week

It's National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! We popped over to our communications headquarters and lead dispatcher Megan Hart gave us a tour to see what activities our dispatchers are up to this week!

Happy Milwaukee Day!

Happy Milwaukee Day! We stopped by class today to ask our MFD cadets and Assistant Chief Parish what they love about Milwaukee. What's yours?

Here are some quick reminders of winter vehicle safety from the IAFF.

MFD Station 23

For our next virtual visit, Captain AJ Hornik takes us on an informative tour of Station 23, home of Engine 23, Rescue 1, and Rescue 4.

Dangers of Turkey Fryers

Research from the NFPA shows Thanksgiving as the peak day for home cooking fires with more than three times the daily average for such incidents. Christmas Day and Christmas Eve ranked second and third, with both having nearly twice the daily average. In 2019, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,400 home cooking fires on Thanksgiving, the peak day for such fires. Unattended cooking was by far the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths. Cooking caused half (49 percent) of all reported home fires and more than two of every five (42 percent) home fire injuries, and it is the second leading cause of home fire deaths (20 percent) in 2015-2019. Please protect you and your family this holiday season by staying safety-aware in the kitchen and practicing safe cooking methods.

MFD Station 8

Did you know Engine 8 has the largest coverage area of any firehouse in Milwaukee? Come take a virtual visit with us as Captain KC Simon gives us a tour of Station 8 in the seventh battalion.

Outdoor Fire Safety

The approaching cooler weather might be the perfect time for cozy campfires. Here are some fall weather outdoor activity and fire prevention tips from beoutdoorsafe.org and our other furry friend, Smokey Bear.

Calling all teachers! A great project for the classroom (or at home), this crafty fire safety project will teach your children how to stay safe in case of a home fire. Fire Prevention Week runs October 3-9, 2021.

The members of the Milwaukee Fire Department strive to provide excellent service to our constituents every time we are called. We know every call is unique, and we are aware of the risks we may face at any given moment. Although every sworn member of this department has voluntarily taken an oath to serve and protect our citizens regardless of the circumstances, as humans we hope never to find ourselves in any situation where our lives may be at peril. Thanks to our great training and preparation we are able to selflessly make quick decisions in order to help others and keep them safe. One such instance took place in the afternoon of Thursday, June 24. Engine Company 9 was responding to a single motor vehicle accident on the North Teutonia Avenue overpass which goes over West Silver Spring Drive. A female bystander alerted Fire Paramedic Nyles Wray about the driver involved in the accident who was experiencing a mental health crisis and had threatened to end his life by jumping off the bridge. The driver climbed over the guard rail and lower himself over the side. Fire Paramedic Wray was able to get to him quickly, reaching out to grab his hand just as he let go of the guardrail. Fire Paramedic Wray was quickly assisted by Fire Paramedic Rita Muzia, Heavy Equipment Operator Joshua LaDue, and Fire Lieutenant Colin Thomas. Putting their own lives at risk as all of their feet came off the ground, they were able to bring the man over the guard rail to safety and continue providing medical assistance to him until members of the Milwaukee Police Department arrived to assist. The valor and dedication of these members not only resulted in saving this man’s life, it portrayed the foundation of our Milwaukee Fire Department and its members.

THANK YOU MFD dispatchers and communications teams for around-the-clock services you provide to those calling for help in often extreme time of need, and for keeping our members well-informed to provide the best outcomes possible. Your composed professionalism is appreciated! We ♥ our MFD communicators! #nationalpublicsafetytelecommunicatorsweek
