Different time. Same feeling.
They stood where you stand.

Same look in their eyes. Same feeling in their chest. Same quiet understanding of what was about to be asked of them.

They didn’t have what you have. You don’t have what they had. But when it matters, none of that changes anything. You still step forward just as they did. You still carry it. You still go.

A couple hundred years apart… and nothing changed.

This is the heart of a volunteer.

At about 10:05 p.m. last night, Excelsior Springs firefighters were dispatched to Lock Lane in Wood Heights for a mutual aid structure fire.

Pumper 2 responded to the call. The Wood Heights Fire Department arrived on scene and quickly stabilized the incident.

The building housed several canines which had been exposed to heat and smoke. Our crews assisted a canine who was suffering from severe smoke inhalation.

Each of our trucks are equipped with pet oxygen masks. Crews were able to utilize the mask to successfully treat the canine.
