It’s #NationalDogDay!
We love when your four-legged friends visit our parks, but don’t forget—pups must stay on their leash while enjoying the fun. Thanks for helping keep our parks safe and happy for everyone! 
Rope Rescue Operations Training
Over the last four days, our crews had the chance to work alongside the team at Crash Course Village in their Rope Rescue Operations training — and we can’t thank them enough.
The realistic scenarios and hands-on guidance not only sharpened our skills, but reminded us why training like this matters. We’re grateful for their time, knowledge, and commitment to helping firefighters be at their best.
