Tonight is the night - or Sunday at 2 a.m. - to move your clock back one hour! Your call. Make sure you check those smoke alarms this evening before you go to bed! Change replaceable batteries at least once a year! #FireHero

Remember to “Change your Clock” tonight, “Check your Smoke Detectors”

IAFC President and Bozeman (MT) Fire Chief Josh Waldo climbs the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center to honor @FDNY firefighters lost on 9/11 at the Bozeman Fire Department 9/11 Stair climb.

We are remembering the hero’s and victims of 9/11, 23 years after terror attacks on the nation left nearly 3,000 dead on Sept. 11, 2001.

It's that time of year where we're going to start seeing school buses on the road again. Be sure to stop for school buses while they load and unload school children. Slow down in school zones and watch for children using cross walks. #MtBacktoSchool

Yesterday afternoon and evening Hamilton’s firefighters and retired firefighters handled multiple fire incidents simultaneously! Great job!

Happy Birthday Smokey!

Documenting your belongings is easier before a storm.
If you have time, create a detailed list or video of your belongings in case an insurance claim is needed. Make sure to save the virtual list in the “cloud.”
