Today we had the honor to give an Accommodation Bar Award to the guys and girls of IPFD #1, Coteau Volunteer, and Broussard Fire that were on scene of the devastating event that occurred during Laos New Year on April 4, 2026.

This particular call was not something we respond to normally. It’s a very high-stress scenario, with lots of moving parts. Through quick response, organizing the chaos, great communication, and their swift actions during patient care they were able to maintain control of the situation and provide the best care possible to each individual.

It is an honor to have these guys and girls work for us and we are incredibly proud and grateful for their dedication to their communities, and the heart that they bring to every response. This is a well deserved award and we look forward to their continued dedication to their futures in the fire service.

This morning our crew on C-shift visited Gingerbread House CLC here in town. They got to talk a little bit about fire safety, show the students the fire truck, and most importantly Sparky was there to hang out!
C-shift also visited Gingerbread’s second location last week and were able to meet and talk with the students there.
Fire Prevention will be here before we know it, and we will be able to meet more of the students in our area and visit more schools! We enjoy getting the opportunity to get out in public and talk about all the exciting things the fire service has to offer!

This morning B-shift accompanied our volunteers from the departments within our area with a training on drafting and water shuttle.
By doing these trainings we are able to become more proficient in our water supply and be better prepared for fire scenes in the event we would use our drop tanks or have to pull from a static water source. Our volunteers are vital in our response to supply us with the necessary water supply and man-power we need for most fire emergencies.

We appreciate their time and for taking steps to further their knowledge and for all of us to work together diligently. Always striving for better!
