No tricks, just treats, & fire trucks!! 🚒🎃👻

Last night five new members took their oath of office, officially joining the East Lansing Fire Department. We’re proud to welcome FF Creekmur, FF Monette, FF French, FF Dzaferovic, & FF Williams to the 1609 family.

We also welcomed our new Fire Chief, John Newman, who took his oath of office as he steps into his new role.

A meaningful tradition made the night even more special, as each member was pinned with their badge by their family — a reminder of the support system behind every firefighter and the families who share in this commitment.

Please join us in welcoming our newest members and congratulating Chief Newman! We’re proud to have you all as part of the ELFD family.

There’s always something special about the game day views from station 2. But today’s pre game flyover was extra special for our ELFD crews.

Today, one of our own, FF Sanders, was up in the skies as part of the flyover. FF Sanders serves as a Flight Medic with the Army National Guard, representing the same commitment to service both in uniform and here at home. We’re incredibly proud to have FF Sanders as part of our 1609 family.

Thank you, FF Sanders, for your service and sacrifice to our country—and for the care and service you provide to the citizens of East Lansing.

Saturday's MSU game-day remembrance grew far beyond what anyone expected - and it all started with a routine grocery run

Every yard has a purpose. 🇺🇸

East Lansing firefighters joined Michigan State University for our annual 9/11 Sled Push—pushing 1 yard for every life lost on September 11, 2001, for a total of 3,000 yards.

A small way to honor the lives lost, remember their sacrifice, and never forget the courage shown that day.

We remember. We honor. We never forget. 🇺🇸🚒
