There are many great traditions in the fire service, but one of the best might just be cake and ice cream. 

As we welcome new firefighters, we also welcome them into a tradition that has been passed down through many fire houses. When a new recruit firefighter experiences a “first”, cake and ice cream are in order. First day on shift, first time punching a clock as a firefighter, first time walking up the stairs as a firefighter, first medical call, first fire, first fire alarm and the list goes on.

The rule is simple: you have to bake it yourself. Help is allowed, but store bought cakes do not count.

Traditions like this may seem small, but they are part of what makes the fire service special. They remind us to stay humble, to celebrate the journey and to never forget the people who help us along the way.

Some cakes even come with a sense of humor!
