Squad 11 stretched a line to the kitchen for extinguishment and Tower 11, R11, and R15 searched the house and found the owners 2 cats. The cats were safe and brought outside to the owner!

Squad 11 also responded for a car fire earlier. Fire was located at the top of the gas tank under the floor board with the battery rotary saw. assisted after extinguishment by putting the vehicle in their car lift so Squad 11 could ensure the gas tank wasn’t leaking anymore.

Those who responded to the events on 9/11/2001 are still paying the price for their hard work.

Exposure to countless carcinogens and exposure to various other harmful agents affect first responders on a daily basis.

FDNY FF Gary Box and Squad 1 got stuck in the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel on 9/11. Instead of staying in the tunnel, FF Box and the crew of Squad 1 chose to grab their gear and run to the towers.

B-Shift: Commercial Structure Fire. Squad 11 and Safety 1 arrived to find smoke coming from a restaurant and occupants evacuating. Squad 11 got inside to knock down the fire and R15 went up for vertical ventilation. Tower 11 showed up and assisted with roof operations. E12, E13, and E14 all came in to assist. Fire was located in the concealed spaces behind the walls running up to the parapet. Great job by everyone on scene. Squad 11, R11, Tower 11, R15, Safety 1, Batt 1.

Kissimmee Fire Station 11 welcomes our international brothers Adrian and Ricardo who are volunteer FF’s from Michoacán,Mexico. In 2019 our department donated this group of volunteers outdated PPE that can no longer be used due to service date requirements for structural firefighting gear and equipment. This gear has been of great use to them and the community they serve.

They will be attending hands on training at Treasure Coast HOT this weekend in Fort Pierce, FL.
