The New York Times caught a glimpse of one of our Engines fighting a structure fire and posted the image on the Instagram and other Social Media accounts.
Full Staffing
Our ability to provide three engines during this time is nothing but extraordinary.
This means we were able to provide both of our extra engines for the disaster, but additionally an extra engine from our regular staffing needs.
We were able to backup everything to keep us safe.
