🚨Did you know the South Bend Fire Department uses drones for almost every part of the job?
From swift water rescues and hazmat incidents to locating missing people and fighting fires…our drones are on the frontlines, providing a birds-eye view to keep our community safe.

Think 500 gallons sounds like a lot? Our fire trucks typically carry that much water—but in a fire, it can be gone in just 3 minutes. That’s why clear access to fire hydrants is critical. Never park in front of one, even for a minute. Seconds matter in an emergency. #FireSafety

We’ve been putting our skills to the test this week with some Technical Rescue Team training.

Closing your bedroom door before you go to sleep can slow the spread of flames, smoke, and heat — giving you more time to escape and survive.

This morning, two of our rookies had their first taste of action.
E2 Francesco Lizzi and E7 John Posego extinguished a backyard grass fire.
It may have been a small fire, but they gained some valuable experience that will serve them well in the future.
