We are incredibly proud of the opportunity to host 8, yes 8, student interns at Stillman Fire this semester!!!! During their school day, these young adults leave the classroom for a prescribed period of time and step into the firehouse to experience what the fire and EMS service is really about. They learn everything from history of the fire service, apparatus and equipment checks, station duties, fireground operations, EMS and patient care concepts, SCBA and PPE, hose and ladders, tools and equipment, communications, teamwork, public education, and the daily responsibilities that keep a fire department ready to serve. Most importantly, they get to learn alongside our firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics and see firsthand what it means to be part of a firehouse.

Internships like these are about much more than teaching someone how to put out a fire or check an ambulance. They give young adults an opportunity to explore a career, develop responsibility and confidence, learn the importance of teamwork, and understand what it means to serve their community. They also give our members the opportunity to pass along the knowledge, traditions, and lessons that were once passed along to us. The fire and EMS service is built on people teaching the next generation, and we are proud to be part of that process.

We are especially proud that young adults want to spend part of their school day learning about what we do. Hopefully, some of them will enjoy this profession as much as we do, choose a career in fire or EMS, and begin a lifetime of learning because in this profession, you should never stop learning. And even if they ultimately choose a completely different path, they will leave here knowing more about service, responsibility, teamwork, community, and the history and traditions that helped make the fire service what it is today. We may be teaching them about the fire service today, but they may very well be the ones carrying it forward tomorrow. It is because of this community and the support you all show that allow us to help educate the first responders of the future! Thank you.... - Chief Hoefle

Today our thoughts and prayers are with the members of a neighboring fire department as they mourn the loss of one of their firefighters. While details are still limited, the loss of a firefighter is felt far beyond the walls of a single station. Firefighters and first responders share a unique bond and when one department hurts, we all feel it.

From all of us at the Stillman Fire Protection District, we extend our deepest condolences and support to everyone affected by this loss.
