FF Austin and Sparky (or Marshall) had a great time handing out candy and seeing all the amazing costumes at the downtown-trick-or-treat!

On Friday, Cass, from campfire coffee and creamery, gave a generous donation

Cass heard about the the good cause of the pink shirt drive and immediately reached out, and offered to donate a generous gift of $250 dollars to the cause!
Thank you Cass! Very much appreciated!

Campfire coffee and creamery, which is joined to the Maytag Laundry across the street from Walmart, is always looking for ways to give back, and word of mouth tends to reach them.

Yesterday was 9/11.

The on duty crew, with Chief Johnson, was present at a memorial service, which remembered the tragic events and lives lost that day.

We gathered with neighboring townships and their volunteer department members to pay tribute to those who were lost, and to remember the impact that the terrorist attacks had on our country.

As firefighters, we take special considerations to honor the 343 firefighters lost that day.

On every call that first responders respond to, we perform a scene size up, and begin to think through all possible obstacles and ways to overcome them. I can only imagine the thoughts that must’ve been going through the minds of the FDNY firefighters as they climbed the stairs of the towers.
How will evacuation occur above the incident?
How will water supply be managed?
How will medical care be rendered to those who can’t self evacuate?

Whether or not they had a plan to overcome all the issues at hand, they still went towards the call with the attitude of adapting and overcoming whatever was to present itself.

That’s the attitude that firefighters across America revere about those who were lost that day.

The attitude that knew action had to happen first, problems will be solved later.

Forcing Entry.

Many people see firefighters carry two tools together, known as the “Irons”

These tools are a flat head axe, and a Halligan.

Together, firefighters can use them to compliment each other and force open a large variety of secured access points, allowing us quick and easy entry into structures.

This week, Mike Bernard, was able to drop off a forcible door entry prop, giving us a chance to walk our newest members through forcing doors. Thank you, Mike.
