Shively Fire and Rescue would like to give a bigThanks to Ferrero and their management team andvstaff for allowing our members to tour their plant to be familiar with the operations and location of safety equipment. These pre-planning tours are extremely beneficial to us. Having a community partner like Ferrero that makes an iconic product "girl scout cookies" is beneficial in making our jobs a bit easier in an emergency situation.

Did you know?

Louisville Metro residents can recycle up to 4 passenger tires for free at the Waste Reduction Center on Meriwether Avenue (LouisvilleKY.gov/WRC) or at participating Pop-Up Drop-Off events (LouisvilleKY.gov/PopUps).

Have more than 4 tires to dispose of? Save the date for our Waste Tire Collection Event on October 1, 2, and 3. Any Kentucky resident or business is eligible to participate in this event EXCEPT tire retailers, scrap/salvage yards, and recycling facilities. No limit. (Louisvilleky.gov/tire-event)

Tires dumped illegally or left outdoors can collect standing water, attract mosquitoes, and create environmental and safety hazards. Dispose of tires properly to help protect our neighborhoods and waterways.

♻️ Recycle right. Keep tires out of the environment.

For a hot day the crew plays in the water. But it's important water play. Practice relay pumping and aerial flowing. Keeps the skills up for the engineer/apparatus operator to spot hydrant and connect hoses and get adequate water.
