There is a certain beauty to this time of year. The leaves are gone, the cold has set in. But once and a while the sun comes out and warms the world. Winter in Montana is a roller coaster and we wouldn't have it any other way.

The 🌞 sun is shining and what better to do than some pump training. December retirements are opening up spots for young engineers (they drive the truck and pump the water)

Combustibles on the stove is the cause of a fire that forced occupants of four apartments to evacuate early Friday morning.

Firefighters arrived just after 4:00 a.m. as the fire spread in the kitchen of unit one.

Deputy Fire Marshal Andrew McLein says the stove had been left on in the kitchen.

The fire resulted in heavy fire damage to the kitchen and heavy smoke damage throughout the unit. The estimated cause of damage to the unit is around $60,000.

#Repost @watsonville_firefighters_l1272 (@get_repost) ・・・ Today Watsonville Firefighters Local 1272 welcomed home one of its brothers. Captain Lucas was involved in a hunting accident in Montana several weeks ago. With the love and support of family, friends, and the fire family, he began his recovery. Captain Lucas has a long road of continued recovery ahead but the family of Local 1272 has full confidence that he can and will accomplish anything he sets his mind to. Today he flew home with his family. Local 1272, Aptos La Selva Fire, Scott’s Valley Fire, WPD, Cal Fire, and members of the community were on deck to give a warm welcome. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Billing Fire Department in Montana. We are forever grateful for the love and support you showed our brother and his family. You exemplify what it means to be brothers in the Fire Service by taking care of a firefighter who was a stranger. Words cannot suffice for the selfless actions you took and we thank you. #local1272 #firefamily #unionstrong @billingsfirefighters @watsonvillepd @calfire @ksbw_brittany_nielsen @erinclarkksbw8 @pajaronian @pajaro_valley_chamber @scsentinel

The initial report was of a fire outside a residential structure, just east of 64th st west, off Hesper Road, according to Battalion Chief Ed Regele. The call came in just after 9 p.m. If the call had come in any later, the home may have been a complete loss, Regele said. . 🚒Follow #yourbillingsFFs to stay up to date with what we're doing. . 👨‍🚒Facebook - billings.firefighters. 📸Instagram- billingsfirefighters . 🐦Twitter - local521. . #iaff #mag7 #mtffs #billingsmt #billings #firefighters

Shout out to our medics and EMTs around Billings. Saw this bit on Facebook and thought I should share.

The @albertabairtheater is getting a major update, but today we got a tour to see the building skeleton in its naked state. This intimate tour helps us know how buildings are built and how they might react in a fire. It's a integral part of our job and we also get to see some cool stuff. Part of the upgrades includes a modern fire alarm system. The old system however has some relics hanging around (literally). This knife used to be a part of the stage fire curtain system. In case of a fire, someone would need to cut the rope next to this sign and the fire curtain would fall, protecting the audience from a stage fire. In the new building this will be automated and tied into the alarm system, but the old stuff is still pretty cool. @albertabairtheater , your new building will be pretty awesome when finished! 🚒Follow #yourbillingsFFs to stay up to date with what we're doing. . 👨‍🚒Facebook - billings.firefighters. 📸Instagram- billingsfirefighters . 🐦Twitter - local521. . #iaff #mag7 #mtffs #billingsmt #billings #firefighters #firealarm #alarmsystem #fireprotection #firesafety #oldskool #theatre #broadway #downtownbillings

Eighteen years ago, 343 FDNY members died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Since then, more than 200 IAFF members have died from 9/11-related illnesses.
