Please join us in congratulating Captain Graham Swenson on his field promotion from Lieutenant to Captain!

Captain Swenson joined Hudson Fire in September of 2015 and has been a tremendous asset to our organization ever since. Throughout his career, he has been instrumental in building and advancing our health and fitness program to help ensure our firefighters stay healthy, resilient, and receive the preventative testing they need to safely serve our community.

His leadership, commitment, and dedication to the fire service are second to none. Captain Swenson’s impact on both our personnel and our organization will continue to be felt for years to come.

Captain Swenson will be assigned as the Station 1 Captain on C Shift.

Congratulations Captain Swenson, we’re proud of you and excited to see you step into this role!

☀️🚒 LOCAL 5213 TRAINING DAY 🚒☀️

Hudson Firefighters took full advantage of the beautiful weather today while conducting aerial training with TK901. Crews on shift spent time working with the truck’s 107-foot aerial ladder, sharpening the precision and control that’s critical on emergency scenes.

To fine-tune their skills, firefighters tied a traffic cone to the end of the ladder and practiced carefully placing it on top of target cones positioned around Station 1. This drill focused on smooth operation, communication, and the small, controlled movements that make a big difference when operating at height. *** Video in the comments.

Of course, we added a little competitiveness to the mix — members were timed and received penalties for knocking cones over. Precision matters, and a little friendly rivalry keeps everyone sharp.
Training never stops. Days like today help ensure we’re ready when our community needs us most.
