We had a great time joining our brothers and sisters at the St. Cloud Police Department last Friday in epic water gun combat against the City of St. Cloud, Florida summer camp kids at the Civic Center!

💦 Summer is here, and that means water gun battle season has returned to the City of St. Cloud, Florida!

Joined this year by members of the City Council as well as the St. Cloud Fire Rescue Department, we fought valiantly against the Park’s and Recreation summer campers at the Civic Center.

While we definitely feel that we won, everybody who took part ‘won’ by having a great time and strengthening community bonds.

We love making visits to schools, churches, and events to share fire safety information!

Today, Engine 33 visited a summer camp program at Canoe Creek K-8 and had a great time talking about all of the training we do to protect our community and ways the children and their families can stay .

The City of St. Cloud, Florida has implemented a ban on all outdoor burning, effective June 10, 2026. The only outdoor fires allowed during the burn ban are those authorized by the Florida Forest Service.

While the burn ban is in effect, campfires, fire pits, pit-style grills, trash burning, and any ground-based burning are prohibited. Fireworks are prohibited in the city except for July 4th, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.

Above-ground gas, charcoal or electric grills used for cooking can be used when located safely away from vegetation.
St. Cloud Fire Rescue is monitoring weather and vegetation conditions to determine when the burn ban will be lifted.

Report any nearby open flames or columns of dark smoke by calling 911. Please use this service for emergencies only and not for reporting smoky odor or ash, which may be from distant fires.

The summer months in Florida have historically also meant an increase in childhood drownings. If you are a parent, we recommend you follow the ABC's of swimming safety: Always have a designated, sober ADULT monitoring children while they swim. Set BARRIERS to keep small children from drowning hazards, especially locked doors and gates to prevent young children from entering swimming pools. Enroll your child in swim CLASSES and as parents take CPR. Not sure where to take classes? Our own Chris Lyle Aquatic Center hosts them. See the link from City of St. Cloud, Florida for an upcoming swim safety event later this month.

Help us break a world record at The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson! Join us Thursday, June 25, from 9 AM to 12 PM at Chris Lyle Aquatic Center (2991 17th Street) for free 30-minute swim lessons, a DJ, water slides, paddleboard rides, CPR demos, and more.

We want everyone to know Swimming Lessons Save Lives™! Come out and be a part of an amazing global event as we work together with waterparks, pools, and recreation centers on six continents to learn important water competency and safety skills. Drowning is preventable, but sadly, it’s the single LEADING cause of death for kids 1-4 and the second leading cause of unintended injury/death for kids 5-14.

Help us tell the world Swimming Lessons Save Lives!
