It was fascinating to share some time with Chief Kirk (Ret.) at the Bad Rock Volunteer Fire Department and QRU late this summer in Montana. Getting more done with less and creating capabilities where none existed should be this department's mantra.

What an apparatus progression - 1st just a wildland rig (Type 3), then structural capabilities were added and then rescue equipment.

The Grand Rapids 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is a way to remember the FDNY firefighters, police and EMS who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live on 9/11/2001. Each participant pays tribute to the 343 brave souls by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center.

We are sponsoring this important event again this year. Please come to the climb and get your free Thin Red Line flag.

The Stair Climb benefits local firefighters and helps fund the programs by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support the families of our nation’s fallen firefighters.

It has been a tough week in downtown Grand Rapids for citizens and the Fire Department. The LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church, which was vacant for a prolonged period, burned late Wednesday night. The Grand Rapids Fire Department was on scene in about 2 minutes - post the 911 call, but the structure had clearly been involved for some time.

Captain Ryan Sparks told News 8 "that crews made an aggressive interior attack (visibility initially reported as zero) but the building presented unique challenges. We can’t have too many people on a fire like this,” he said. “It takes a lot of resources to put it out," Photos feature HME's recently delivered Engine 2.
