On Tuesday we visited Circuit Breaker School to give the students a demonstration on our drone.

The kids learned about how our drone works, why and when we use it, and even got to see how fast and high it can fly around!

Thanks for having us!

Training tonight freshened us up on the use of our ARFF (Airport Rescue & Firefighting) truck and general airport emergency response.

April Call Summary 🚨

Our second busiest month of the year so far.

For those who are curious, "Other/Misc." calls in these posts refer to calls that do not fit into any of the other categories. These calls include things like Carbon monoxide detectors going off, HAZMAT calls, power lines down, storm response, cats stuck in trees, etc.

Every call is different and some just don't quite fit neatly into every category!
