As our members in Miami Dade and surrounding communities continue rescue operations at Champlain Towers South in Surfside, the IAFF is keeping everyone affected by this terrible tragedy in our thoughts.
There is an estimated 100 acre wildfire in Saint Lucie County off of Hwy 70, 4-5 miles west of Sneed Road. We currently have 4 dozers on scene along with FD. FPL has been contacted in regards to nearby powerlines. 1 structure threatened. FD is providing structure protection.
Today we honor and remember all the soldiers who never came home.

With critical fire weather expected across Florida today we thought we'd share a little #WednesdayWisdom. DYK that driving or parking in dry grass can ignite a wildfire? Whether a car, golf cart or ATV/UTV, the heat from the exhaust over dry vegetation is a recipe for disaster.
Thank you to all of our Firefighter/ Paramedics and Firefighter/EMTs that serve the citizens of St. Lucie County. The @StLucieFireDist respond annually to more medical emergencies than any other call for service. Make sure to show your love and appreciation to your local hero’s!

A big thank you to our dispatchers here in St. Lucie County and all dispatchers protecting lives! The men and women of @StLucieFireDist were the “first responders” to over 54,000 calls last year. #thankyoudispatchers
St. Lucie County is under a #REDFLAGWARNING from Noon - 6 PM Tuesday. This is due to strong winds, low humidity, and dry fuels that can all contribute to critical fire behavior.
In 2019, more than 75% of the names of #firefighters added to the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Wall of Honor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, were of members who died from occupational cancer. #FFCancerMonth#FightFFCancer https://t.co/1TYvSqyWVk
