B shift got a special surprise today. A local 9 year old decided for his birthday he would rather treat us to lunch than receive a present. We see a future firefighter in the making. Thanks for being a fantastic community Sedalia, continue to support each other.

Shout out and thanks to Bandana’s BAR-B-Q for the lunch they brought to the crews today! Please support your local businesses during these trying times

Missouri is lacking a presumptive cancer law that many states have protecting firefighters.

Started 2021 off with a busy day. Numerous fires, including some national news. Be safe , as the temps are dropping below freezing again.

Multiple items of note in last nights city council meeting. First: Congratulations to former local 103 President, Captain Greg Goose Smith on 25 years of service. Second: We appreciate the city allocating funds to keep our aging East station usable. We also acknowledge that this should be a short term solution , as the city grows substantially, a third station is inevitable . ... Have a great election night Sedalia .

For anyone looking , a job opening at a great department right up the road .

PSA: It is never acceptable to run over a fire hose . Often times it is necessary to lay a supply line from a hydrant across a road. While SPD does a great job of shutting down the street, often times they can’t block every angle . During a fire tonight , numerous vehicles drove over a charged supply line with fire crews inside the burning structure. This is a life threatening situation when this occurs, as hose lines are literally a life line for those inside .
