#WomensHistoryMonth: “One of the challenges I’ve experienced is I have to make a way even when I would think there isn’t one. If I see someone else doing it, there’s no reason that I can’t.” - Firefighter/Paramedic Kaandra Wilson

#WomensHistoryMonth: "I didn't let anything stop me. I joined the Hazmat team; I was normally the only female on the team or in these classes, and that never bothered me. If anything, it pushed me forward." - EMS Captain Lisa Simba

#WomensHistoryMonth: "Get more women involved in the selection process, and then we can pull more women into the job. With male-dominant jobs, we also have to have a lot of women being seen doing the job." - Tara Blunt, Firefighter

Congratulations to all who were promoted! A special congratulations to our very own now Lt. Kaandra Wilson and Capt. Pat Evans!

One of 2 new engines you’ll see on the streets in the next couple of months. Some new capabilities: - 5 person cab - 2,000 GPM pump - 750 gallon water tank - 6 rear pre-connected discharges - ward “no-smoke” filtration to improve diesel exhaust emission

#WomensHistoryMonth: "Some things a man can do a lot easier, it will take a woman a little more effort or more practice. It took a while for me to figure out my way of doing things. But once you come up with your own technique, it's not that hard." - Ashley Whisonant, Firefighter

We couldn’t end #WomensHistoryMonth without also recognizing the amazing women in fire administration. From HR to finance, IT, and Health & Safety. Thank you for everything you contribute to the success of the department.
