Today is Volunteer Firefighters Recognition Day, and we're honoring the dedicated men and women who selflessly serve their communities.

Volunteer firefighters respond to emergencies at all hours, train year-round, and sacrifice time with their families to help others when they're needed most.

To every volunteer firefighter across the country: thank you for your courage, your commitment, and everything you do to keep your communities safe.

Tag a volunteer firefighter who deserves a shoutout. ❤️🚒

We're looking forward to Fire-Rescue International (FRI) happening August 12-14 in Kansas City, MO! You can find us at booth #2230. We hope to see you there!

Thank you First Due Autism Training and Provident Insurance for putting this amazing training on!

A huge thank you to Captain Zach Kirsch from First Due Autism Training for his webinar last night! Equipping our first responders with the tools to understand sensory triggers, communication strategies, and effective de-escalation makes our entire community safer.

If you weren't able to join live, take some time to watch the presentation and learn how we can better support individuals on the autism spectrum.

🚨 Community & Fire Service Alert 🚨

A friendly heads-up from our friends at the Kaua'i Fire Department — they are currently looking for some help from fellow departments and partners to bridge a temporary equipment gap.

If your department happens to have a spare, surplus, or soon-to-be-retired fire engine with some service life left that you're looking to sell, auction, or part with, Chief Gibson and the team could use the extra backup right now while they wait for their new fleet arrivals.

Please reach out directly to Chief Gibson at [email protected] if you can assist.
