Our very own K-9 Maya

Handlers and their K9s train in real conditions like this on a daily basis. Not a clean floor, not a controlled setup or classroom, but debris, broken walls, uneven surfaces, airflow changes, and complex odor paths.

This kind of work builds confidence and accuracy. The dogs learn to track scent through fractured materials and hidden void spaces, just like they do on an actual scene. The handlers learn how to read their dog, manage safety, and work as a team in tight, damaged structures.

There are many traditions in the fire service. Every department has some that are specific to their organization. However one tradition that is fairly universal is practical jokes and pranks around the fire house. It’s one of the ways we build camaraderie.

If you’re driving by the station today give Captain Grunder a honk to wish him a happy birthday! Also enjoy the nice display in the front yard. Happy birthday Capt!
