Montgomery Fire/Rescue

We are at full activation here at Montgomery City/County Emergency Management! Bringing key resources together to support all our residents of the county as we work through Hurricane Isaias.

🔥💨 READING THE SIGNS BEFORE THE FIRE TELLS THE STORY! 🚒

Montgomery Fire-Rescue welcomed Chief Backer for The Art of Reading Smoke! 🔥

Over two days, all Montgomery Fire-Rescue officers attended this class to sharpen their skills, recognize smoke behavior, and better understand what the smoke is telling them on the fireground.

Because smoke isn’t just smoke, it’s a story! Knowing how to read it can make all the difference when seconds count. 👨‍🚒💪

A big thank you to Chief Backer for sharing his knowledge and experience with our officers! We’re committed to continuous learning and training to keep our firefighters and community safe. 🚒🔥

🌧️ STORM READY: MONTGOMERY FIRE-RESCUE IS PREPARING! 🚒💨

As Hurricane Isaias approaches Montgomery, we’re not waiting for the weather to arrive, we’re getting ready now! 💪

Montgomery Fire-Rescue is placing extra units in service and preparing crews and equipment to respond quickly if our community needs us. Our teams are ready, but we need YOU to be storm ready, too! 🏠⚡️

A few important reminders before the weather moves in:

⚡️ Downed power lines: Stay AWAY! Never touch a downed line or anything it may be touching. Assume every power line is energized and report it to your power company.

🔌 Generators: NEVER operate a generator inside your home, garage, basement, or any enclosed area. Keep it outdoors and well away from doors, windows and vents to prevent deadly carbon monoxide buildup.

🕯️ Candles: Use flashlights instead whenever possible. If you do use candles, never leave them unattended.

🌳 Watch for falling trees and debris: Stay indoors during the worst of the weather and avoid unnecessary travel.

📱 Stay informed: Keep your phones charged, monitor local weather alerts and have emergency supplies ready.

Montgomery, we’ve got you covered. You prepare, we prepare, and together, we weather the storm! 💙🚒

Stay safe, stay alert and let’s get through this one together! 🌧️💪

🚨 AMAS Drill Wrapped — Now We’re Storm Ready! 🌧️

That’s a wrap on the three-day statewide AMAS drill! Teams finished strong with confined space rescue operations, putting their skills to the test in challenging environments.

Montgomery Fire-Rescue Special Operations, alongside Prattville Fire Department as Alabama Task Force 4, trained with teams from across the state on base camp operations, trench rescue, structural collapse, wide area search, and confined space rescue.

Three days of training. Countless hours of teamwork. One goal: be ready when the call comes.

And now, as the drill wraps up, our teams are shifting gears and gearing up for the storm expected this weekend—getting equipment packed, crews prepared, and ready to respond wherever they’re needed. 💪🚒

Train hard. Stay ready. Answer the call. 🇺🇸

Part two of the statewide AMAS drill focused on structural collapse and wide area search operations.

Montgomery Fire-Rescue Special Operations, working alongside the Prattville Fire Department as Alabama Task Force 4, trained alongside teams from across Alabama to practice the skills and techniques needed during a real-world disaster deployment.

Teams worked through simulated structural collapse buildings, navigating damaged structures and conducting systematic searches for victims. The wide area search portion focused on searching large areas, while working together as a coordinated USAR team.

Another great day of hands-on training, teamwork, and preparation for when the call comes to deploy.

🚒🔥 Montgomery Fire Rescue doesn’t just serve our amazing community, we serve the entire state of Alabama!

Our AMAS Team, as part of Division Delta, is currently in Dothan alongside teams from across the state for a multi-day training exercise focused on specialized rescue operations.
