Congratulations to Firefighter/Paramedic Cassandra Shifflet and the Oak Park Fire Department on this well-deserved commendation! Outstanding quick thinking and dedication to firefighter safety. 🚒👏

The Fire Department has established a commendation program to recognize actions by members that go above and beyond the call of duty, quick thinking and acting that breaks the chain of failure that can lead to injury or fatalities. Recently, Firefighter/Paramedic Cassandra Shifflet was the first member to receive a commendation for her actions while responding to a fire on the 700 block of Highland earlier this year. While performing exterior ventilation at the scene, Cassandra heard a radio transmission to assist firefighters in exiting the basement of the home. She discovered a door had closed behind the crew, obstructing their egress. She opened the door, utilized her flashlight to provide a visual beacon and provided verbal cues to the crew. Her proactive response and quick intervention allowed the interior team to exit the basement safely.
