At South County Fire, we’re honored to serve and support the LGBTQ+ community. Not just this month, but every time we answer the call.

This month, we're sharing the voices of LGBTQ+ firefighters and allies who reflect on what Pride means to them. Their stories remind us that different perspectives make us a stronger department – helping us support one another and better connect with the people we serve, especially in moments when compassion, understanding, and care matter most.

Great question by a young future firefighter that stopped by for a station visit.

🚨 We primarily use those two methods as our sirens. The pull chord is an air horn horn that is used mostly while approaching and driving through to give additional audible warnings.
The foot pedal is what we refer to as a federal and that is consisently on while driving to to emergencies.

⚠️Good reminder to pull to the right if you hear any type of siren and be cautious driving through intersections as well.

Comment with any other curious ❓️ you have.

Always a fun time to have some future Firefighters stop by for a station visit. They were loaded with a ton of great questions.

Thanks to South County Fire and our Community Outreach team for the help in providing some fire education to our youth.

Also appears, '67' is still popular in the schools 😂.

Rise above the silence and create a culture where it's okay to talk about our mental health!

You may notice that our crews have matching pink bracelets. The fire service will always stand in solidarity and support with each other. These bracelets have the inscription, "In Loving Memory of Nora."

Thank you to those who have shown support along the way for two of our members who are still grieving an unthinkable loss.
