This picture at the Cave Springs exit where Baue Funeral home is in the top left will give you all the feels! Absolutely amazing what the St. Louis area did today for Lcpl Jared Schmitz and his entire family.

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

Crews had a working apartment fire late yesterday afternoon. All residents made it out safely and there were no injuries on the scene. @sccadems @CentralCounty

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

Today we remember & honor the heroism of Firefighters Derek Martin & Robert Morrison. Seventeen years ago today, they made the ultimate sacrifice. Their willingness to place themselves in danger to protect their fellow citizens represents a calling of the highest ethos. #LODD
