~ In 2024, the Springfield Fire Department made significant strides in strengthening their emergency preparedness and response capabilities. Through various initiatives, partnerships, and the completion of a new fire station, the department has shown their dedication to serving and protecting the community.
One of the major accomplishments of the year was the opening of Fire Station 7, which was made possible by funding approved by voters. This modern facility was designed with firefighter health and safety as a top priority, ultimately improving efficiency and response times during emergencies.
According to Fire Chief David Pennington, community risk reduction remains a crucial aspect of their mission. Through their Project RED Zone initiative, thousands of households were engaged, hundreds of smoke alarms were installed, and vital fire safety education was provided. The department also expanded their outreach efforts with programs focused on fire and life safety, CPR and AED training for the community, and senior fire safety initiatives.
