The amount of bend in this ladder is wild! 🤯🪜
Believe it or not, it’s designed to do exactly this. Every ladder at TFD is rigorously tested each year to ensure it can handle the demands of the fire service and safely support Firefighters when it matters most.
Regular testing helps us identify any damage, defects, or wear before a ladder ever goes back into service. When our lives and the lives of the people we serve depend on our equipment, there’s no room for failure. 🚒💪

⚠️ FLOOD WATCH ISSUED FOR TOPEKA & SHAWNEE COUNTY ⚠️
The U.S. National Weather Service Topeka has issued a Flood Watch for Topeka and Shawnee County from late tonight through Sunday morning due to the potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding.
🚗 If you encounter flooded roadways:
❌ Never drive through standing or moving water
❌ Never go around barricades or warning signs
✅ Turn around and find an alternate route
Just 12 inches of moving water can carry away a vehicle, and flooded roads may be deeper and more dangerous than they appear.
🌊 Remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown® 🌊
Stay weather-aware, monitor local forecasts, and be prepared for changing conditions throughout the weekend.

🎓🔥 Congratulations, 2026 Camp Courage Graduates! 🔥🎓
What an incredible accomplishment! After a week filled with challenges, learning, teamwork, and adventure, we proudly congratulate the 10 outstanding young women who successfully completed Camp Courage 2026. 👏👩🚒
Throughout the week, these future leaders embraced every opportunity to learn and grow as they participated in hands-on firefighter training, search and rescue, forcible entry, bailouts, rappelling, vehicle extrication, fire inspections, hazardous materials education, first aid, and much more. 🚒💪
Each participant demonstrated courage, determination, resilience, and teamwork while stepping outside their comfort zones and discovering new strengths within themselves. Along the way, they built confidence, developed leadership skills, and formed friendships that will last a lifetime. ❤️
A special thank you to the outstanding women instructors from surrounding fire departments and the female firefighters and staff of the Topeka Fire Department who generously shared their knowledge, mentorship, experience, and passion throughout the week. Your dedication helped inspire the next generation of leaders and public servants.
To our Camp Courage graduates: Be proud of all you accomplished this week! Keep reaching for new heights, pursuing your goals, and leading with confidence. The future is bright, and we can't wait to see what you achieve next. ✨
Congratulations, 2026 Class of Camp Courage! 🎉🚒👩🚒
