4th Annual DCFD5 Community Trunk or Treat!
On this Day of Service and Remembrance, the members of DCFD5 stand with all our other brothers and sisters, as we pay tribute to those lost on 9/11/01 and honor the service and sacrifice of the emergency responders who answered the call that day and in the subsequent days. Their legacy lives on.
Over the past week, your DCFD#5 Firefighters have responded to two different wildland fires started during wheat harvest and straw bailing activities. Fortunately, both fires were quickly contained through the efforts of firefighters and local farmers who assisted with private equipment. Both of these fires remind us about how dry our fuels currently are and reinforce our extreme fire danger risk.
As a reminder, please avoid going to emergency scenes and properly yield to oncoming/approaching emergency vehicles. We know everyone is wanting to respond to a scene to help but slowing the response of fire apparatus and adding extra vehicles in the area of the fire scene does slow firefighting efforts and puts the safety of you and our firefighters at risk.
So appreciate our fire crews and farmers. Be safe!
Hug's, prayers and much appreciation to all our firefighters!!
We ❤️ you guys! Thank you for all the hard Hot work you do! Stay safe, you guys ate HOT🔥☄️🧯🚒
