Happy Firefighter Friday! 🚒🚨

The BFRS Investigation Division recently updated their professional headshots. With a little extra time between photos, they decided to have some fun and show off the personalities behind the badges.

Serving the community is serious work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t share a few smiles along the way.

Can you guess which movie inspired this photo? 🎬

Be safe, look out for one another and have an awesome weekend! ❤️

Our BFRS recruits have officially started their PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) drills.

Learning to properly don and doff PPE is a critical skill that helps ensure firefighter safety on every emergency scene. These drills build confidence, reinforce good habits, and prepare our recruits for the challenges ahead.

Every skill learned today lays the foundation for a safer tomorrow. 🚒🔥
