“Did you hear about the line of duty yesterday?” Nine heartbreaking words no firefighter ever wishes to hear. But guess what…we do. We heard these words far too many times last year alone. We train as hard as we can… make sure our equipment works… get to know our buildings… and exercise every day. We do everything possible to prevent an LODD but in the end, it still happens.

It’s Xmas New Guys, Step Up

We all enter the fire service knowing it’s the greatest job on earth and there is not another occupation we’d rather be doing. We also grasp the harsh reality that we are in fact a 24/7 service being open for business on nights, weekends, holidays, and everything in between.
