Firefighters Memorial at Seitz Park.. 🙏 @SouthBendFire

🚨Did you know the South Bend Fire Department uses drones for almost every part of the job? From swift water rescues and hazmat incidents to locating missing people and fighting fires…our drones are on the frontlines, providing a birds-eye view to keep our community safe.

Sparky the Fire Dog is here to remind you to have a great week ahead! Stay safe, be mindful and enjoy the little moments…like a handful of dandelions.

Think 500 gallons sounds like a lot? Our fire trucks typically carry that much water—but in a fire, it can be gone in just 3 minutes. That’s why clear access to fire hydrants is critical. Never park in front of one, even for a minute. Seconds matter in an emergency. #FireSafety

We’ve been putting our skills to the test this week with some Technical Rescue Team training. #TechRescue #TrainLikeYouRespond #RescueReady #SBFD

Closing your bedroom door before you go to sleep can slow the spread of flames, smoke, and heat — giving you more time to escape and survive. #CloseBeforeYouDoze #FireSafety #SBFD #StaySafe

A clean rig, blue skies, and a little aerial setup to round out the week. Truck 1 is making the most of this beautiful Friday!

After 34 years of selfless service, Captain Tommy Miller retires today. Thank you, Captain Miller, for your dedicated service to South Bend. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

This morning, two of our rookies had their first taste of action. E2 Francesco Lizzi and E7 John Posego extinguished a backyard grass fire. It may have been a small fire, but they gained some valuable experience that will serve them well in the future.

The South Bend Fire Department responded to a working structure fire in the 700 block of Diamond Avenue shortly after 6:30pm. The fire is under control and there are no injuries to occupants or firefighters. The fire is under investigation.

In March, we responded to 2,199 incidents. March 30 was our busiest day, when severe weather hit South Bend. That day alone, we had 169 calls for service. These numbers reflect our ongoing commitment to serving our community. Thank you for your trust and support in us.

Why should you join the South Bend Fire Department? For Firefighter/Lead Paramedic Jean Gomez, it’s all about giving back to his community. #JoinSBFD
