Lights on. Sirens up. Game time.

Happy 4th of July, Glen Ellyn! We hope to see you at today's parade.

Jeff volunteer firefights for the camaraderie with like-minded people. “The other members of the Company are on the same page as you—they want to volunteer and help people in this same way.” Read Jeff's full story at gefirerecruit.com/jeff-water…

Another top reason Jeff volunteer firefights is "It’s a great way to stay in shape. During training, you are in 60 pounds of full gear, going through confined spaces. It’s an excellent physical challenge.” Read Jeff's full journey into firefighting here: gefirerecruit.com/jeff-water…

Jeff Waters is a Glen Ellyn Volunteer Firefighter. One of his top reasons for serving is to help others. "It’s nice to hear they are happy and get thanks from people.” Read Jeff's full story and contact us if you want to serve Glen Ellyn. gefirerecruit.com/jeff-water…

Ready to jump on the engine? Now’s your chance to learn how. We’re always recruiting volunteer firefighters and would love to meet you. Join us any Monday @ 7pm to see how it works. Stop by our Pennsylvania or Taft station or message us to get started. gefirerecruit.com

🚒 Did you know? Firefighters can “see” through thick, black smoke. We use a handheld thermal imaging camera that doesn’t use light at all—it reads heat instead. That means in a burning building, we can spot a person, a pet or hidden fire… even when it's zero-visibility.

We’re so proud of our GE Team! 🚒 On March 8th, they tackled the Fight For Air Climb—full gear, air masks, and all! Not only did they support clean air and lung health, they got some team bonding… and earned an extra day off from the gym (though we doubt they’ll take it 😉).

So who is the man behind the lens? Someone we are certainly grateful for. Learn more about him here: gefirerecruit.com/patrick-ry…

What are those bright yellow “icy water” suits rescuers wear? They’re cold-water rescue suits — basically survival armor against freezing temps. After every call, they get a full scrub so they’re clean, safe, and ready for the next save. #RespectTheGear #VolunteerFirefighters

Ahh… nothing like a nice winter walk in the park with a side of cryotherapy. #AlwaysBeTraining #GlenEllyn #Volunteer #Firefighters

Happy Thanksgiving, Glen Ellyn! Stay alert while you cook. #FirePrevention
