Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Company

We’re so proud of our GE Team! 🚒 On March 8th, they tackled the Fight For Air Climb—full gear, air masks, and all! Not only did they support clean air and lung health, they got some team bonding… and earned an extra day off from the gym (though we doubt they’ll take it 😉).

So who is the man behind the lens? Someone we are certainly grateful for. Learn more about him here: gefirerecruit.com/patrick-ryan-v…

What are those bright yellow “icy water” suits rescuers wear? They’re cold-water rescue suits — basically survival armor against freezing temps. After every call, they get a full scrub so they’re clean, safe, and ready for the next save. #RespectTheGear #VolunteerFirefighters

Ahh… nothing like a nice winter walk in the park with a side of cryotherapy. #AlwaysBeTraining #GlenEllyn #Volunteer #Firefighters
