Tomorrow is National Naloxone Day, & we want to raise awareness in our community. There is a Naloxone kiosk in the lobby of City Hall, 400 Alexandria Blvd. The day is meant to raise awareness of Naloxone & the role it plays in helping to fight the opioid epidemic in the U.S.

Always have a fire escape plan for everyone in the house. Talk and walk through with all family members, especially the kids and have a meeting spot picked out. Make sure everyone knows the safest way to get out of the house should there be a fire.

We remember and honor those who gave their lives for our country. Let us always honor those who serve and have served on this Memorial Day.

Today's storm is a great reminder to practice lightning safety. If you believe your home has been struck by lightning, call 911 immediately. Our firefighters will come check out the house. We have the tools to determine whether there is an unseen fire in the attic or on the roof.

We always love showing off the tower truck to the kids who love to chat with our firefighters. It was a fun morning at the Arbor Day Tree Giveaway! We also gave the kids fire hats to match the trees!

A-Shift was back out doing more extrication training and today they were focused on patient removal techniques. Our firefighters love this training so they can keep their skills sharp!

This morning A-Shift was doing extrication training with saws & spreaders. This training is vital for saving lives. It trains firefighters to safely and quickly remove trapped patients from vehicles to minimize injuries & builds skills as cars become equipped with new technology

During the drier months in Florida, brush fires are a very real possibility. Fires can start for any number of reasons, including lightning, unattended campfires, or even a lit cigarette. Be prepared: https://t.co/W3EQZGtTqX
