A-Shift responded to a single-vehicle accident in which a vehicle left the roadway and entered a canal. Fortunately, the canal was dry and all occupants were uninjured. This incident serves as an important reminder that rural roads require the same level of attention and caution as main roadways

Last night, the Olathe Fire Protection District and the Olathe Firefighters Association had the honor of presenting one of our own with this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness fundraising proceeds.

Each year, our members sell breast cancer awareness shirts and combine those proceeds with donations from our duty shirts to support someone facing the fight of their life. This tradition is rooted in solidarity, compassion, and the belief that no one in our fire family should ever face hardship alone.

Over the past two years, we have been humbled to support two of our own—firefighters and the spouses or mothers of first responders—during their battle with breast cancer. These moments remind us that the fire service is more than a profession; it is a family.

To our recipient: your strength, courage, and resilience inspire every one of us. We stand with you, we support you, and we will continue to fight alongside you—always.

Thank you to everyone who purchased shirts, donated, and helped make this possible. Your generosity truly makes a difference. 🎗️🔥

Yesterday our crews took a patient from Saint Mary’s hospital to a facility in Utah. This is part of our transfer program! We take people all over the state and sometimes across state lines if needed. Thank you to the crew that came in to do this transfer!
