This week’s theme is “Fire Safety for People with Disabilities.” Millions of Americans live with physical and mental disabilities. It’s important to know your risk and build your fire prevention plans around your abilities. #FireSafetyTips #BeSafe #PlanAroundYourDisabilities

On 7/23/84 an explosion at the Union Oil Refinery in Romeoville, IL was so severe that an airplane flying 1,500' above was hit by debris & 10 ff's were killed. Mutual aid from 30 agencies brought the blaze under control. Faulty welding work was to blame. #FireHistory #NeverForget

"While more and more products are being manufactured with lithium-ion batteries, their use in electric cars and other vehicles may currently be of the most concern to the fire service."

On 6/18/07 9 Charleston firefighters died in the Sofa Super Store Fire. In the years that followed significant tactical, operational, & code changes were implemented in CFD & throughout the country. In honoring these men, we learn from our tragedies. #NeverForget #FireHistory

If you are planning on camping this summer, make sure you take precautions with your campfire. Campfires can easily turn into wildfires!

On 6/17/72 9 Boston ffs were killed in the Hotel Vendome fire. The fire was largely under control when suddenly 5 floors collapsed without warning trapping 17 ffs. Eight were rescued. The collapse was blamed on the failure of an overloaded steel column. #FireHistory #NeverForget

On 5/28/77 a fire at the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, KY killed 165 making it the 3rd deadliest nightclub fire in U.S. history. Overcrowding, faulty wiring, inadequate fire exits, and extreme code violations all led to the tragedy. #FireHistory #NeverForget

While many things have come to a halt, what hasn’t stopped is the teamwork and dedication of our state agencies. And for that, we are extremely grateful. #MOgreatness #MissouriProud

#COVID19 didn't exist when @GovParsonMO's Cabinet took part in this Continuity of Gov't (COG) workshop @MoSEMA_ But over the last month, we've been implementing the same concepts - adapting & relocating operations to keep state gov't functioning after a disaster. #WeServeMO

[Governor Mike Kehoe @GovMikeKehoe]

Today is #WorldHealthDay. Please join me in thanking and praying for those Missourians responding to COVID-19. They continue answering the call to keep our communities, and our entire state healthy. #MOgreatness #MissouriProud
