🇺🇸 Slidell Fire members participated in the Never Forget 5K at the Covington Trailhead. Proud of Mark Cambre Jr. with his father Mark Cambre Sr., Robby Marquette, Bryan Haley, and Ethan Sepulveda for their hard work. Great job, everyone! 💪
This is one of the best events on the Northshore every year — a chance to lace up, stand with our brothers and sisters, and support the families of first responders and military heroes lost in the line of duty. Proceeds benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
ONE TEAM. ONE MISSION.
NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸
HONOR THE FALLEN. SUPPORT THE FAMILIES.

Today marks 21 years since Hurricane Katrina changed our community forever.
These photos are only a glimpse of that day — the water, the loss, the courage, and the lives that were never the same.
For everyone affected, we remember those we lost. We also know this anniversary remains difficult for many.
We’ve rebuilt. We’ve grown stronger. We’ve learned what preparedness really means.
Katrina’s legacy is not just what we survived — it’s why we train, why we plan, and why we stand ready as a community.
To everyone still carrying that day: you are not forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We are in this together. Always.

🚨 TRAFFIC ALERT: MILITARY ROAD AT DAVIS LANDING IS CLOSED 🚨

It’s been a busy morning for Slidell Fire! Please use caution out on the roads and be advised that Military Road is completely closed in both directions near Davis Landing due to a crash that brought power lines down across the roadway.

Cleco crews are on scene and have advised repairs are expected to “take all day.”

Please avoid the area and use an alternate route. We’ll provide an update when the roadway reopens.

Congratulations to Fire Operator Thomas (TJ) McMillan for being recognized for his 10 years of service with STFPD  #1.

Shoutout to Chief Mooney, our peer support dog. While we’re handling crises, he’s easing stress with tail wags and no judgment. More senior than most of us, better at people skills than all of us… and somehow never writes a report. Whether representing the department or lending a helping paw, he reminds us that courage, loyalty, and service come in all shapes and sizes. Here’s to the best therapist — four legs, zero overtime.
(He also has his ways of letting us know when it’s time to go outside.)
