Today, we honored the 25th anniversary of September 11th by coming together for our 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Marina Grande on the Halifax. Our firefighters climbed 110 flights of stairs—the same number as the World Trade Center—in memory of the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We were honored to have City of Ormond Beach officials join us and show their support for our firefighters and this important memorial. A special thank you to Marina Grande for once again hosting this meaningful event, and to Walmart Community Outreach for supporting our firefighters with refreshments throughout the climb.

We climb to honor their sacrifice, remember their courage, and ensure their legacy is never forgotten. 🇺🇸🚒

🚒 Training Above the Ground! 🧗‍♂️

Members of the Ormond Beach Fire Department recently participated in a rope rescue training hosted by Volusia County Fire Rescue and Elevated Safety.

During the training, our crews had the opportunity to put their rope rescue skills to work on the Ormond Beach Water Tower, approximately 160 feet above the ground. Members practiced climbing, rappelling, and performing technical rescue operations from the tower.

Training in challenging environments like this allows our crews to build confidence, sharpen their skills, and be better prepared for real-world emergencies involving elevated structures.

Firefighters worked quickly to safely extricate the patient, who was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
