Our firefighters recently led First Aid and CPR training with teachers and staff at C. Ray Williams Elementary School.

This hands-on training gave school staff the opportunity to practice essential lifesaving skills, including CPR, wound care, tourniquet application, and pressure dressings.

We’re proud to work alongside our schools to help create safer environments for our students, staff, and entire community. A prepared community is a safer community. ❤️

Today, August 24, we pause to remember Officer Terry McDowell, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on August 24, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we remember his courage, his dedication to protecting others, and the sacrifice he made while serving his community. The passage of time does not diminish the loss or the gratitude we owe to those who put their lives on the line for others.

Today, we honor Officer McDowell, remember his service, and keep his family, friends, fellow officers, and all who knew him in our thoughts.

Get to know your local Whitehall firefighters. Ever wonder why you see firefighters at the grocery store?

When crews work 24-hour shifts, the firehouse becomes home, and home needs dinner. Firefighters pool their own money, shop for ingredients, and cook meals together at the station. Fun fact: the firefighter driving the truck is usually the head chef for the day! 🚒🔥
