PARADE IS STILL ON!

Unfortunately, it looks like Mother Nature has other plans for our Memorial Day Parade today with rain expected throughout the event. But we still encourage everyone to come out and support the parade and help honor the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Pull out the umbrellas, set up the tents, sit in your vehicles and flash your headlights, cheer from your front porch, or line the streets however you can! 🇺🇸

Today is about remembering and honoring the men and women who served and sacrificed for this country. Those heroes did not only serve on sunny days. They served in the rain, the snow, the heat, the cold, and in conditions far worse than what we may see today.

So let’s still come together as a community and show our respect and appreciation for those who gave so much for all of us.

Rain or shine… West Wyoming will remember. ❤️🤍💙

🚒 FIRE SAFETY CHALLENGE 🚒

West Wyoming Fire Department wants to put your family’s fire safety knowledge to the test tonight!

Take a few minutes at home and ask yourself and your children these important questions. You might be surprised by some of the answers:

🔥 If a fire started in your house while everyone was sleeping, what would wake you up?
🔥 Do you know TWO ways out of every room in your house?
🔥 If your bedroom door was hot, would you open it?
🔥 Once you get outside, where would your family meet?
🔥 If your favorite toy, pet, phone, or video game was still inside… would you go back in?
🔥 Do your kids know how to call 911 and tell dispatch your address?
🔥 Does everyone know to stay LOW under smoke?
🔥 If smoke filled your room, what would you do?
🔥 Have you ever actually practiced escaping your house?

Parents… now ask your kids these same questions and see how they answer. Fire safety isn’t just something to talk about after an emergency happens. It starts before one ever occurs.

A house fire can turn into a room full of smoke faster than most people realize. The safest families are the families that have a plan.

Quick Safety Tips:
✅ Every home should have working smoke detectors — especially near bedrooms. Test them regularly!
✅ We highly recommend having fire extinguishers in your home, especially near bedrooms and key areas.
✅ Keep tools ready for small emergencies: a garden hose accessible outside, and a fire blanket in the kitchen for stove fires.
✅ But ask yourself: Do you know how to use them?
✅ Do you know the Heimlich maneuver? Do you have a Dechoker tool for choking emergencies?
✅ Do you know CPR?
✅ Do your children know “Stop, Drop, and Roll”?
✅ Do your kids know how to swim? If you have a pool, is it safe and secure for them?

These are important conversations and skills that can save lives. If you don’t know the answer to some of these questions — that’s okay! Please know you can 100% reach out to us. We would love to discuss these topics with you and your children and help your family become safer and more prepared.

Comment below and let us know: How many of these questions did your family know the answer to? 👨‍🚒🏠

***Note!***this photo is not saying anyone did anything wrong. This photo is for educational purposes knowing that an emergency can happen anywhere at anytime…. Even in your own town or home! We just want everyone to be as educated as possible on this topic of fire safety.

Stay safe, West Wyoming!

Today our hometown experienced a tragic fire that affected our entire community. During difficult moments like these, it reminds us that emergency scenes are never handled by one person or one department. They are handled by a team.

The West Wyoming Fire Department would like to extend our sincere thanks to every single first responder and second responder who assisted today. Firefighters, EMS personnel, police officers, fire police, dispatchers, utility crews, rehab personnel, and every supporting agency that responded all played an important role.

Everyone had a job to do, and everyone stepped up and performed their duties to the absolute best of their ability under extremely difficult circumstances. Whether you were operating on the front lines, handling traffic, providing medical care, supplying resources, coordinating communications, or supporting behind the scenes, your efforts mattered.

Tragic incidents remind us how strong the emergency service family truly is. We are grateful for the teamwork, professionalism, and dedication shown today.

Please continue to keep everyone affected, along with all responding personnel, in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️🚒
