From Momma Hirl's Baking:

Okay but seriously… you all CRUSHED IT with the fire hydrant butter cookies this year 🚒🍪

Quick cookie math:
• 1 pouch = a dozen adorable fire hydrant butter cookies
• $10 per pouch
• Buy them at a vendor show and 100% of that $10 goes to the Olin Hose Company (our amazing volunteer fire department) for gear and equipment
• Buy them outside a show and 30% still gets donated (because cookies should always do good things)

Now for the good part…
Because of YOU, I was able to donate $705 this year alone 🔥
That brings the grand total to $2,262 over the last FOUR years 😳🚒

I am honestly blown away by the love, the support, and the cookie enthusiasm. You guys are the absolute best, and I can’t wait to see what kind of magic (and sugar) we can make happen together this year. Thank you a million times over ❤️🍪🔥

Yes, she can ship them! Thank you for your support!

You might as well turn this sucker off!
all the fire departments in the county need help. We’ve heard all the excuses. I can’t commit to (fill in the blank), I’m not always available, I’m too young/old, I don’t know anything about it. They are just excuses. We are all volunteers. We can when we can and we can’t when we can’t.
This is an incredible job you get paid for in ways that aren’t money. If you’ve ever thought about it, contact the VFD in your area. The hardest part, is walking through that station door the first time.
We all live in the communities we serve. How can you make a difference?
Every fire department across the country needs help.

One of the many hazards firefighters now face. From StacheD Training, Oct 5, 2025: Five Sacramento firefighters were hospitalized after responding to a Tesla crash — and they weren’t even close to the car fire. The vehicle’s battery pack had been compromised, scattering hundreds of cells across the roadway. When the tow truck tried to move the Tesla, the main pack reignited, releasing a massive v***r cloud that traveled hundreds of feet downwind.

These weren’t just flames — this was a toxic mix of hydrogen fluoride, carbon monoxide, and v***rized solvents like ethyl and dimethyl carbonate. The result: four firefighters still off duty months later with lasting respiratory, cardiac, and renal complications.

In this video, I break down what happened, what was found in the Sacramento Fire Department’s official green sheet, and what every department should learn from this incident. We’ll talk safe standoff distances, air monitoring, fog stream use, and why “smoke” from an EV battery isn’t smoke at all.
