Thank you Christopher Missick. He was at the Fallen Firefighters Monument bright and early this morning cleaning off the graffiti. It's greatly appreciated, that monument holds the names of our firefighters, our friends, who died in service to this city.

Most city firehouses use the Squad 51 tones for the firehouse data terminal. Every emergency call is marked by that iconic sound.
The 1970s series known as “EMERGENCY!”, not only helped to promote the paramedic profession to the general public, but it was also single-handedly responsible for the recruitment of countless men and women into the fire service.
