On 9-11-2001 343 firefighters gave their lives so others could live. These men were husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles and friends. Today our thoughts are with their families and the entire FDNY who lost so much that day. We will #NeverForget their bravery and sacrifice!

On November 29, 1988, six Kansas City Fire Fighters from KCFD Pumper 30 and KCFD Pumper 41 started their shift and would never return home. Overnight before the end of their shift they would perish from a tragic explosion. #NeverForgotten

It would be both unprofessional and off message for us to tweet about seeing a man chase his toupee down the streets of KCMO. Instead, we would like to remind you that high winds can cause fires to spread quickly! #WindyWednesday #staysafekc.

Unlike the movies, a fire in a structure becomes dark and can turn to zero visibility quickly. Staying low by crawling when escaping a fire will provide the best visibility and keep you at the most survivable temperature. Never delay escaping a fire. get low an GO! #staysafekc.
