Springfield FMBA local 57

Today, we remember our brother, Tony, who left us two years ago. Always in our hearts, never forgotten.

Yesterday, Tour 1, along with Deputy Chief Mastroeni, rescued a Canadian gosling that was entangled in fishing line at the Meisel Pond. The fishing line was carefully cut and the gosling was reunited with its family shortly after.

This week, 6 members took part in Swift Water Rescue training, honing critical rescue skills while building the confidence and teamwork needed to perform in challenging water conditions. Through realistic scenarios and continuous training like this, we ensure we’re ready when our community needs us most.

Thank you to Rescue Products International, Inc. for the great course!

The Springfield Fire Department is saddened to hear of the death of Springfield Police Sergeant Angelo Bonavitacola, someone who we've worked along side with for many years. Our condolences to the family and friends.

Today was Bring Your Kids To Work Day. We demonstrated vehicle extraction, flowing water with an 1 3/4" hose line, hauling a stokes basket with a 3:1 mechanical advantage, and finished the day with pizza for lunch! A great time was had by all.
