Last night we responded to an apartment fire on Leon Street.

An aggressive attack was utilized to get the fire under control, and firefighters rescued one victim from the home with life-threatening injuries.

This was a terrific response and strong work from the members of B-Shift!

They should be checked every month to best ensure your home’s safety.

Working smoke alarms more than double you and your family’s chances of surviving a house fire! 🔥🔥
