MICHAEL SAYS: I got into fire because I’ve always been service minded. I tried traditional college and office based tech jobs and I did not fit. So I followed my dad (Terry) and brother (Nick) into the fire service and loved it instantly. I love the service, the camaraderie, and the free snacks at the hospital.

The one day that apparatus floor day was just sexy!!
It was a big day for community service for Local 136! We partnered with the Living City Project for one of their many community clean-up days, to further beautify the Old North Dayton area. A special thanks to our on-duty crews from Station 8 and also Commissioners Matt Joseph and Shenise Turner-Sloss for Dayton City Commission for coming out with us and lending a hand in the cleanup.
We also partnered with the American Red Cross - Dayton Area Chapter and the Patterson Park Civic Association to install smoke detectors in homes in the area. Special thanks to our on-duty crews from Stations 11 and 15, and our Fire Prevention Bureau for leading the charge.
Thank you to all the volunteers that came out to help today. Your efforts make a difference for our city, and #daytonfirelocal136 is proud to be a part of that.
Great job! Local 136

COMPLICATED
7 April 2022
This particular fire started on the first floor, but quickly made its way up to the attic. Fire conditions on the third floor attic, and concerns for safety, forced the operation to go defensive. Crews were able to protect the neighboring houses from catching fire as well. All occupants were out of the structure upon arrival, although some suffered minor injuries during evacuation.
Be safe son
Thank you for your service👨🚒🚒🔥
Teddy be careful
Nice job!
