A fire escape plan works best when everyone in the house knows it. 🔥

Make it a family activity this week: choose your exits, pick an outdoor meeting place and practice getting there.

Don’t just have a plan. Practice it.

When an emergency happens, small actions can make a difference. Knowing your location, answering the dispatcher’s questions and making your home easy to find can help first responders get where they need to go. 🚒🚔

Save this one... You never know when you may need it!

Take the 10-second test: Walk to the road and look back at your house. 🏡

Can you clearly see your address?

Make sure house numbers are visible, easy to read and not blocked by trees, decorations or other objects. It’s a small detail that can matter when seconds count!

Training isn’t just something firefighters do at the academy.

It continues throughout their careers.

We train because our community depends on us being ready!

When you see an OPFD truck headed down the road, it may be responding to much more than a fire. 🚒

Our firefighters train for medical emergencies, rescues, vehicle crashes, hazardous conditions and many other situations our community faces.

Different call. Same mission: be ready when Ouachita Parish needs us!

School mornings are busy again! 🚌

As students across Ouachita Parish head back to class, give yourself a little extra time, stay alert around buses and school zones, and keep your eyes off your phone.

A few extra seconds of patience can help keep our kids safe.

After seeing his dad get a walk-up song, Captain Lee Gole’s son decided he needed one too. 😂 Of course, we had to let him join in!
