😂🚒 Not every little one is a fan of the fire truck!

Some kids see a fire truck and light up with excitement… and then there’s this little one! 😂❤️

We’re pretty sure she’ll look back on this picture one day and laugh — but for now, those tears are just too cute! 🥹🚒❤️

Future firefighter? Maybe… but she’s going to need a little more convincing! 😂

🚒 Training Tuesday with A Shift! 🚒

A Shift put their skills to the test today during Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) training in the mobile burn trailer.

In the fire service, being prepared for the unexpected is critical. Today’s training focused on knowing what to do in an emergency, locating a downed firefighter, and safely bringing one of our own home.

Train hard. Stay ready. 🔥

A great day spent honoring 9/11 and celebrating the strength, brotherhood, and camaraderie of our first responder community. 🇺🇸❤️💙

Thank you to Mountain Lakes Behavioral Healthcare for hosting such a great event and bringing first responders together for a day of fellowship, fun, and friendly competition.

As we remember September 11th, may we never forget the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the bravery displayed by so many on that day. 🇺🇸

And, of course… we ended up facing our friends at the Scottsboro Police Department! 🚒⚾️🚔
We’ll be coming for you guys next year! 💪
