What has your experience told you? Being overly concerned about the use of tank water attack is something the fire service needs to deal with. These numbers are a guide post and they must be positioned against tank capacity, sustainable water availability and fire progression.

It’s that time of year again! The original firehouse elf is back to check and be sure all of us here at SCFD have been good little firefighters this year. Unfortunately Andy the Elf took a wrong turn and ended up at St. Charles Police Department by mistake. #originalfirehouseelf

Remembering 9 of Boston’s bravest today. June 17, 1972, the Hotel Vendome fire was the worst firefighting tragedy in Boston history. Nine firefighters were killed when part of the building collapsed. RIP. @BostonFire

Our thoughts & prayers are with the family, friends, & colleagues of @MH_Fire Firefighter/Paramedic Chris Moore. FF Moore died after suffering a medical emergency while on duty. “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” #LODD – at St Louis, MO
