WILDLAND FIREFIGHTERS:
No breathing apparatus, not paid well, excessive hours paid with comp time when it's rainy, understaffed, gets cussed for plowing a fire line around your house to keep your house from burning.....Every eye is on these guys's girls as they tackle this Dragon that happens to be the largest wild land fire in the United States at the present time. If you see one of these guys that are required to wear wool green pants and a yellow long sleeve shirt, no matter how hot it is, tell him, her, thankyou, or buy then a drink, or pay for their meal.

Firefighter/EMT Shane Carter

Polk County Local 3531

It is with great sadness that the officers of Polk County Professional Firefighters Local 3531 announce the passing of brother Shane Carter. Shane was born on December 24, 1982. After High School, Shane entered the United States Army, where he served as a Combat Medic from 2001-2006. Shane began his firefighting career in December 2017 and was currently enrolled in Paramedic school at South Florida State College. Shane held the rank of Firefighter/EMT and was stationed at Rescue Station 9 in Bartow. Shane was well liked by all and made a positive impact on many people that he encountered. Brother Carter will most be remembered for his hard work ethic and contagious smile. Shane was married with two children, all of whom will miss him dearly. Local 3531 would like everyone to please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, the memorial service has been postponed. We will post the date, time, and location on our Facebook Page once it has been finalized.

Respectfully,

Derek Walsh, President

Given the dryness in the State and current pandemic. Please pay heed and prevent the potential of wildfires. This season in Florida is already starting.

Also if a fire gets out of control from you. You can be charged for the response and damages. It's not worth it!!!

Escambia County Fire Rescue Chief Dwain S.Bradshaw died bravely serving his community today.

Bradshaw, who served as the district chief at the Bellview Fire Station and the Assistant Chief at the Beulah Fire Station, was among those who responded to the scene of a fatal motorcycle crash early this morning at the Muscogee Bridge.

During a secondary crash, a log truck struck the Chief who was airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital where he later died.

We are thinking about our brothers and sisters to our west and our hearts go to Chief Bradshaw's family and friends. Thank you for a life of service and for an unwavering dedication to your community.
