When our members grow, our department grows 💪.
That’s why we’re committed to giving them every tool, every class, and every opportunity they need to be promotion‑ready and confident when the next step calls their name.

Flicks from A-Shifts training last week. Crews were out helping their members prepare for the promotion process happening later this year.

We’re building a culture where preparation meets pride, and where future officers rise from within.

This is investment.
This is accountability.
This is how strong departments stay strong. 🗣🔥

Here’s the rundown on our busiest units for August…

🔥 17 WORKING Structure Fires

☣️ 88 Hazardous Conditions Calls

🛠 28 Technical Rescue Calls

🚒 3,065 Total Incidents

-With EMS carrying the weight of the call load....

Shoutout to the members for showing up day in and day out with zero hesitation! Strong work💪😤🔥

July numbers just dropped and they read like this...
