Our sincerest thanks to Ms. "Puddin" Lee and the wonderful staff at Hallmark Cleaners for cleaning both of our large garrison/parade flags. Hallmark did this at no charge so our flags could be ready for display over the Memorial Day holiday. Thanks also to the crew of Ladder 4 (Battalion B) for helping hang these awesome flags so they can dry before being folded.

When winds damaged the roof of a deployed soldier's home, BFD made sure that his family was protected. The crew from Station 3 (Battalion-C) stopped by to install a temporary patch before storms could make the situation worse. While we're always glad to help, it's a special honor when we get help one of our military families.

In 79% of residential electrical fires, flames spread beyond the point of origin to other combustible materials. Tonight, Battalion-A crews took steps to keep an overheated/shorted outlet from growing into a hidden fire behind the wall. Know where your home's electrical panel is located and how to safety shut off household circuits. If you see or suspect an electrical fire, evacuate first, then call 9-1-1 to request fire & emergency services. Stay safe Brandon!
