Thanks @Chelsea_NFPA, are there prizes for the #CRRPuppyChallenge? It’s a boy dog, just in case you couldn’t tell. Don’t stare, it makes it weird.

[Joe Powers @JoePowers123]

@pbassi @CtrPubSafExc Perfect! I glad you got the flowers we sent. ;)

[Vision 20/20 @strategicfire]

To promote the adoption of CRR, Vision 20/20 has formed the Statewide Collaboration and Engagement Framework (SCEF) program that provides free assistance and teams of experts to states to help them integrate and institutionalize CRR. https://t.co/EEb8b6Zcnc

We are under a Flash Flood watch through tomorrow evening. 🌧 from Tropical Storm Isaias is expected to spread northward. According to the @NWS, we can expect 3-6 inches of rain. Small streams and creeks in the area will likely experience significant flash flooding...

@JamBase @RyanDavidYoung @tbtduluth The bananas are good, huh?

The best way to stay safe from fireworks is to not use them. Instead, attend a public fireworks display put on by professionals.
Fireworks are dangerous to adults, kids and pets. Using them puts your property at risk.
Hand-held sparklers are dangerous and burn at 1,200F @usfire

[Joe Powers @JoePowers123]

Have a happy and safe 4th of July! Please leave the fireworks to professionals! #cvillefiredept

[Joe Powers @JoePowers123]

@VSPPIO Congrats Trooper Thomas!!! Thank you for keeping Virginia safe for so many years. Huge thanks to your family for putting up with the stresses of public safety!

[Charlottesville Fire @CvilleFireDept]

As public fireworks displays are canceled across the country, NFPA urges people to refrain from using consumer fireworks when celebrating on and around July 4.

Did you know of the 60 firefighter fatalities that occurred in 2017, 29 were because of sudden cardiac death. Our mandatory PT policy decreases our chances of sudden cardiac death and Increases our cardic health.

@CvilleFireDept Strong work!

Congrats to @CvilleFireDept newest two captains and battalion chief! COVID prevented a real ceremony... Nice work, gentlemen!

[Joe Powers @JoePowers123]

@CvilleFireDept is always prepared and ready! Firefighters from the Ridge Street Station responded to a fire alarm at a 1920’s era church and encountered a sanctuary with smoke. Solid training and preparedness prevent a community loss! #yougetwhatyoupayfor

In a world absent of parties, I bet this kid will remember his Birthday!

[Charlottesville Fire @CvilleFireDept]

A mother dropped by the station this afternoon. She asked could we drive by her son’s birthday party down the street. Well.........Happy Birthday! 🎉 #CvilleFire
