B-Shift T4 had an unusual call early this morning. A kitten had gotten stuck in a car engine compartment. After disassembling some parts, I am happy to say the kitten was freed without harm. Great work guys!

#FastestwaterFriday Fact: Never paint your #firesprinkler heads! If the head is painted over, the paint will protect the bulb from heat, preventing it from breaking at the right temperature to release water. It may also prevent the valve from dropping, even if the bulb breaks.

Please save the dates if you have any household hazardous waste you need to properly dispose of.

SO YOU WANT TO BE A FIREFIGHTER NOW IS YOUR CHANCE.

This week’s fire safety theme is “Outdoor Burning Safety.” Fire can be an effective tool when used properly. Even so, the best intentions can produce disastrous results when safety precautions are not taken. #OutdoorFireSafety #FirePrevention #FireSafetyTips #BeSafe
