When the City of Orange Beach recently opened the Veterans Memorial, our staff wanted to do something meaningful to honor the firefighters who came before us and helped build the Orange Beach Fire Rescue Department into what it is today.

To recognize their service and sacrifice, we placed engraved bricks bearing their names at the memorial.

Moving forward, an engraved brick will be added to honor any City of Orange Beach firefighter who either passes away while serving our department or retires as a vested employee and later passes away.

While we hope we don’t have to add another brick for many years to come, we want our firefighters and their families to know how deeply we appreciate the dedication, sacrifice, and commitment required to serve this community. Those who have devoted their careers—and, for some, their lives—to protecting Orange Beach will always be remembered. Their legacy will remain a permanent part of our department and our city.

Thank you to those who came before us and helped shape the tradition of Protecting Paradise.

We are honored to welcome U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville as today’s keynote speaker at the Alabama Association of Fire Chiefs Summer Conference.

We appreciate Senator Tuberville taking the time to address Alabama’s fire service leadership and discuss the issues impacting our communities, first responders, and the future of public safety. Thank you for joining us and supporting Alabama’s fire chiefs.

Please join us in congratulating firefighter/paramedic Snyder for completing his probationary firefighter period. Captain Craig Thompson presented his new helmet shield and assisted all of A Shift in marking his helmet. This department tradition signifies removing the “new guy” appearance of a new shiny helmet as well as builds a shared respect between the firefighter and his brothers and sisters.

Congratulation FireMedic Snyder!

Edit: We appreciate the interest this post has generated and wanted to provide additional context. The markings placed on Firefighter/Paramedic Snyder’s helmet are a long-standing tradition within our department. They are symbolic and are made by fellow firefighters to recognize the successful completion of the probationary period—a significant milestone that reflects months of training, hard work, and earning the trust and respect of the team.

The purpose of this post has always been to recognize Firefighter/Paramedic Snyder’s accomplishment. Completing probation is no small achievement, and we are proud of his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to serving the citizens and visitors of Orange Beach.

Congratulations again, Firefighter/Paramedic Snyder, and welcome to the brotherhood and sisterhood of Orange Beach Fire & Rescue.

Orange Beach Fire/Rescue crews were dispatched at 02:21:53 to a reported structure fire in the 29,000 block of Bayshore Drive North in Bear Point. Engine 2 was the first unit on scene at 02:28:52 and reported one single family home fully involved and an adjacent home partially involved. Battalion 1, Truck 2, Rescue 3, Truck 3, and Engine 4 responded with Engine 2. Gulf Shores Fire & Rescue and MedStar EMS also provided assistance on scene and stood by for additional emergencies in the city.

Occupants of both homes escaped the fire before the fire department arrived. Two occupants sustained minor injuries, were treated by paramedics on scene and refused transport to the hospital. Two homes and two vehicles sustained major damage, and a third home sustained minor damage.

The Orange Beach Fire Marshal's Office and the Alabama Fire Marshal's Office are currently investigating the incident. Orange Beach Fire & Rescue would like to thank Gulf Shores Fire & Rescue, MedStar EMS, Orange Beach Police Department, Baldwin EMC, CMC Gas, and Baldwin County 911 for their assistance.
