Poplar Bluff Professional Firefighters Local 2543

Hey, you! Yeah-you! Like this post from wherever you plan on staying today! Driving conditions are sketchy and will only worsen into tonight. Stay safe!

Action shots provided by Captain Tuggle of a grass fire on business 60 on the East Side of PB. On-duty Crews worked alongside crews from Butler County Fire Protection District to mitigate the situation. Reports coming in the fire was started by a blown tire from a motorist.

Good luck and Thank you to all the participants at the Badge of Honor Benefit Run today! Cheers to one of our own, Adam Yeley! Go get ‘em, buddy!

A hilarious and effective approach to Fire Extinguisher training: the live target! FF Somers brought this comedic element to life with a group station tour brought in along with the University of Missouri Extension Butler County/Butler County 4H. Tonight’s tour included A day in the life of a firefighter along with a tour of our apparatus housed at the PBFD headquarters. Hats off to FF Somers for keeping it exciting!

‘Tis the season for Fire Prevention!

Crews from all three shifts currently wrapping up a residential structure fire in East Poplar Bluff. Fire is currently under investigation by the Missouri State Fire Marshall’s office.

Around 6:30am crews responded to a Structure fire at a residence on the south side of PB. Shift change took place on scene this morning leaving oncoming crews at the residence awaiting an investigation. Thanks to the friendly staff at Memorial Baptist church on South Broadway and Officer Clark of PBPD, crews were able to have a hot meal curbside between duties. Cheers!
