Bloomington Fire

Smoke alarms save lives

Anybody else miss those summer staples like Ice Cream trucks, Pool Days, Lemonade stands, water balloons, or running barefoot to see a fire engine! Ok Maybe the last one isnt a staple. But we still miss seeing everyone. Don't forget you can always come tour a fire station!

Truck 1 out pump testing today had this to say. "the Cold never bothered us anyway."

Today marks the beginning of Fire Prevention week. Celebrate with us and come down to the parade which starts at 1pm @ Franklin park Fire prevention week always falls on the week that holds october 8th, the day the Chicago Fire started. #fireprevention #firesafety

Not only do our firefighters look pretty in pink and are SUPER excited to wear their new shirts but they want to remind everyone that October is breast cancer awareness month. Remember that early detection is the key to survival.

Close before you doze. Give your family a fighting chance.

Isn’t this #fascinating? Although we fight the flames, smoke is the real killer. #workingsmokealarmssavelives #firefighter workingsmokealarmssavelives #firefighter #bloomington RP:@swedishfirenerd

Crews worked a car fire earlier today along the highway following a Collision. Thankfully no one was reportedly hurt. This was a dual response with Bloomington Township Fire Protection District

Last night we responded to a downed tree limb on Lincoln St that took down a power line. The reason this is news worthy is that this tree is one of the oldest in Bloomington. As the story goes Abraham Lincoln stood by this tree and spoke on one of his trips through Bloomington.
