Battalion Chief Dickerson requested and facilitated a group photo. Thank you to FF/Paramedic Szypula's father for taking time out of his morning to provide the photography. Shown in the photo are all the full-time/union members of the Delhi Township Fire Department.

Last night while much of the city slept, your Lansing Firefighters responded to three structure fires after midnight, two of them occurring almost simultaneously.

Crews made aggressive interior attacks and quick, efficient knockdowns that helped limit the damage and severity of these incidents.

Thankfully, no occupants or firefighters were injured, and all fires remain under investigation.

Strong work by B Shift. Between these fires and the higher than average additional calls across the city, this was a demanding and exhausting shift for our crews.

Your Lansing Firefighters. Always Ready.

Today’s storms left a path of damage across Lansing, keeping crews busy citywide with downed trees, power lines, and hazardous conditions.

Thank you to all of the firefighters, dispatchers, utility workers, and public service crews working through the chaos to help keep our community safe.

Please continue to avoid downed power lines and give crews room to work as recovery efforts continue across the city.

This week we recognize and thank the Paramedics and EMTs serving the City of Lansing and communities across Mid-Michigan.

Day or night, in chaos or calm, EMS professionals answer the call when people are experiencing some of the worst moments of their lives.

From critical medical emergencies to car crashes and everyday calls for help, they provide care, compassion, and calm under pressure.

Thank you to all of the EMS providers who continue to serve with professionalism, skill, and heart.

Your Lansing first responders are always ready to answer the call.

Last week, members of the Lansing Metro Team trained on collapse rescue operations.

Crews worked on concrete breaking and breaching, along with metal cutting using several different torch systems.

These skills are used during structural collapses, industrial accidents, tornado damage, and other incidents where victims may be trapped beneath heavy debris, similar to the recent parking garage collapse in Philadelphia that claimed multiple lives.

Training like this helps prepare rescuers for the difficult and technical work required during these emergencies.

🚒 ONE YEAR AGO, Lansing City Council approved a plan to add 3–6 firefighters per year until Lansing Fire Department reached full staffing.

We’d like to thank the City Council for recognizing the importance of firefighter staffing and for making that commitment to public safety.

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the additional help.....

Call volume continues to rise, the staffing challenges remain unchanged, and your Lansing Firefighters continue answering the call every single day. 🔥

Today 9 members of the Lansing Fire Department competed in the American Lung Association fight for air stair climb, a race to finish 100 flights of stairs in full gear with packs. This is a yearly fundraiser aimed at advancing the fight against lung disease. The Lansing team combined raised over a thousand dollars for the cause and a great effort was made by all 💪💪💪
