From the wiring in our homes to the exits in our workplaces, safety codes shape how we live, often without us realizing it.

These standards are the foundation of public safety, helping prevent fires, reduce risks, and protect communities. Developed by independent organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), they’re the product of consensus, expertise, and decades of research—not guesswork.

But as the world changes, so do the challenges. Now more than ever, it’s important to understand where safety starts—and how we can help protect it.

🏆🚒 TAMARAC FIRE RESCUE TAKES SECOND PLACE! 🚒🏆

Join us in congratulating FF Anello, FF Garcia, and FF Alfonso on earning SECOND PLACE at the Bernie Tilson ALS Competition in Boca Raton, competing against 10 other fire departments!

Over two days, our new team tackled challenging Advanced Life Support scenarios involving more than 30 simulated patients across SIX locations. One scenario put their skills to the test on a fire training ground, with patients on every floor of a five-story tower!

These competitions strengthen the skills our community depends on: rapid assessment, lifesaving care, clear communication, and teamwork under pressure. Each challenge helps our firefighters prepare for complex emergencies when every second matters.

👏 Congratulations to our team for their hard work, dedication, and outstanding performance. You’ve made Tamarac proud!

🧯 Tamarac Fire Rescue reminds you:

Know your extinguisher. Know your surroundings.

The right fire extinguisher can help control a small fire but using the wrong type can make the situation worse.

Understand the materials and products around you, and check your extinguisher’s label before an emergency.

🔥 Match the extinguisher rating to the fire:

• Class A: Wood, paper, cloth and ordinary combustibles.
• Class B: Flammable liquids, such as gasoline, solvents and oil-based paints.
• Class C: Energized electrical equipment, appliances and wiring.
• Class D: Combustible metals—requires a specialized extinguisher.
• Class K: Cooking oils and fats—especially in commercial kitchens

Most commonly found extinguisher is the A- B -C Combination extinguisher.

🔋 Tamarac Fire Rescue reminds you: Charge safely. Keep exits clear.

Charge larger items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

🚪 Never block doors, hallways, or exits while charging. These batteries store more energy, and a fire can grow quickly if they fail.

Keep your escape route clear every second counts.

🔋 Tamarac Fire Rescue reminds you: Know the warning signs of battery trouble.
Stop using and charging your device right away if the battery:

• Smells strange or feels unusually warm.
• Makes popping noises.
• Changes shape or color.
• Gives off smoke.

If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

🚨 SEE THE LIGHTS? SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. 🚨

October is National Slow Down, Move Over Awareness Month, and Tamarac Fire Rescue is reminding you that a simple decision behind the wheel can save a life.

When our firefighters and paramedics respond to a roadside emergency, passing traffic puts them and the people they are helping at risk. Moving over creates a protective buffer. Slowing down gives drivers more time to react and helps prevent a second crash.

Those few feet of space can mean the difference between a close call and a tragedy.

When approaching emergency vehicles stopped along the roadway:

🚒 Move over one lane when safe.
🚒 If you cannot safely move over, Florida law requires you to slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit.
🚒 If the posted limit is 20 mph or less, slow to 5 mph.
🚒 Stay alert and give crews room to work.

Behind every uniform is someone’s wife, husband, mom, dad, child or friend. Help us get home to them.
Our families thank you for slowing down and moving over
