Get your tickets for "Bourbon on the Beach" at Symposium in the Sun! This is a great way to support the great work of National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.

Following the 2026 VCOS 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb & 5K Walk, keep the day going at Bourbon at the Beach!

Join the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation during the VCOS Symposium in the Sun for an evening of bourbon tasting, food, drinks, and a lively auction—all in support of NFFF’s mission to honor America’s fallen firefighters, support their families and colleagues, and prevent firefighter line-of-duty deaths and injuries.

Hosted by actor Jeremy Holm, this is a great opportunity to connect with fellow members of the fire service while making a difference.

👉 VCOS cares deeply about your mental health. 💛🧑‍🚒
On World Mental Health Day, we honor the late Chief Chuck Flynn, who reminded us: “It is time we acknowledge and truly understand the ongoing emotional impact our public safety role has on our health, well-being, and relationships. After all, sometimes lives depend on it.”
His hope for the VCOS Yellow Ribbon Report continues to guide us—sparking conversations, reducing stigma, and strengthening support across the fire and emergency services.

On airplanes, charge portable devices only on your tray table. Overhead bins hide problems, and e‑cigarettes or vapes should never be charged in flight. If a battery overheats, the crew must be able to act fast. For more info: fpw.org.

Did you know? Leaving your device plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery. For more info: fpw.org.
