Congratulations to Captain Mark Edmunds on his promotion to Senior Captain! Captain Edmunds has been serving with the Fire District since 2010! Mark serves on Engine 704 - C Shift.
How is a Senior Captain different than a Captain? Senior Captain's fill in at Battalion Chief and act up when a Battalion Chief is off work or on vacation!

We were honored to celebrate the Blessing, Wash Down, and Push-In Ceremony for our new Rescue apparatus last Friday. We recognized both the future of our department and the traditions that define the fire service.
The wash down and push-in ceremonies are symbolic reminders of the firefighters who came before us, while this new Rescue represents the next chapter in our commitment to serving our community with excellence.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to all those who helped make this project a reality. Thank you to our Commissioner who provide the resources we need to do the job.
We are proud to place this Rescue into service and look forward to the many years of service it will provide.
