25 years ago today, we woke up in a changed world. The attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and the crash of Flight 93 shattered our assumption of safety in America. As we pledge to Never Forget those who lost their lives or loved ones, those who run toward the danger, and those who continue to suffer from exposure related illnesses. Let us also remember how Americans came together, in the darkest moments the best of people can shine through.

As firefighters, we pride ourselves on staying strong under pressure––unfortunately, many believe they should handle psychological trauma and depression alone. Pride, stigma, fear of judgment, and the mindset of “I can fix this myself” often keep us from seeking help, or accepting the help that is offered. But mental health support is not weakness—it’s survival. Just as we rely on a team inside a burning structure, we deserve support when the weight of the job or life becomes too heavy to carry alone.

STAY FIRED UP, and remember, you can’t come up for air until you break the chains weighing you down.

Great article that points out many pros and cons of the decision process. We have done several levels of refurbishing, we will be happy to offer advice.

Departments are extending the service life of existing fleets, with engines being kept in service beyond 25 years instead of the typical 20.
