Welcome aboard!
Congratulations to the Topeka Fire Department's newest firefighters! Firefighter Levi Anderson Firefighter James Bartlett Firefighter Larkin Downing Firefighter Chance Holthaus Firefighter Hayden Hunt These five graduated from the fire academy last week and joined their companies out in the field this week. We're excited to watch them grow in their careers at TFD. Welcome, firefighters! 🤝

Disappointed @RepMann and @RepRonEstes voted no on HR 82. Hope it wasn't voting by party lines, or didn't take time to research the bill. Would love to have an open discussion why you didn't support. Both of you posted support or veterans...many vets are police and firefighters

Thank you to @RepLaTurner and @RepDavids for voting yes on HR 82! Hopefully @DerekSchmidtKS will continue to vote the will of constituents and not just party lines. Many first responders and public safety are apolitical and bi-partisan.
