Did Fort Wayne fire houses go through this routine?

Fire Horses, Harnessing, 1903

From our back issue 11::: The Fire House Horse::: check out this little movie of fire horses being harnessed, ca. 1903. Watch how fast a team can harness and be out the door--faster than modern fire engines. OUT IN FIFTEEN SECONDS! Look how quickly the gray horse is ready to go--The single-horse buggy you see just at the end (on left) is probably a Morgan pulling the Fire Cheif. Enjoy! We've uploaded another Fire Horse video too--so be sure to check the Video Gallery.

    First responders are challenged when they enter a home where hoarding is taking place. Firefighters can't move swiftly through a home filled with clutter. Responders can be trapped in a home when exits are blocked. They can be injured by objects falling from piles. Here's some info about how you can help if you have a person in your life who is a hoarder.

    It’s #firefighterfriday! Today, we recognize Patsy who was the Dalmatian mascot at Fire Station No. 2 at 436 East Wallace St. in Fort Wayne. Patsy was born into her profession. The daughter of Queenie, a former mascot of Fire Station No. 5, she was one of a litter of ten puppies born in the basement of the fire station in May 1951. The puppies were offered to all of the fire houses in the city. In the days of horse-drawn fire engines Dalmatians were commonly used as carriage dogs, trotting alongside the horses and helping clear the path for the fire engine.

    According to a 1954 article, Patsy was the sole member of Queenie's family who was still following her profession. Whenever an alarm sounded, Patsy would swiftly join the firefighters in hurrying towards the fire trucks. Remaining steadfastly loyal, Patsy fearlessly accompanied the firefighters into blazing structures, undeterred by thick smoke.

    Mayor Tom Henry and Fire Chief Eric Lahey today announced promotions for two FWFD employees.

    Jermaine Thomas, District Chief of Health and Safety, was promoted to Assistant Chief of Health and Safety and Recruitment. Thomas began his career with the FWFD on August 10, 2001.

    Captain/Inspector Jonathan Flickinger was promoted to Assistant Chief of Community Risk Reduction. He will oversee the Safety Village and FWFD Division of EMS. Chief Flickinger began his career with the FWFD on November 22, 2000.

    “Both District Chief Jermaine Thomas and Captain Jonathan Flickinger have proven to be dedicated public servants,” said Chief Lahey. “Not only have they proven themselves to be excellent firefighters, but they have also shown an acumen for administrative work. I am excited to have both of these firefighters join the administrative team for the Fort Wayne Fire Department and to see what they will accomplish in their new roles.”

    “I’m impressed with the professionalism and dedication to public service displayed by Jermaine and Jonathan. Both gentlemen are committed to protecting the community and have earned their respective promotions,” said Mayor Henry. “The Fort Wayne Fire Department continues to do an outstanding job to help meet the safety needs of residents, neighborhoods, and businesses.”

    On Friday, Fire Chief Eric Lahey announced that Deputy Fire Chief Adam O’Connor requested a new assignment--to fill the position of Captain at Fire Station 1.

    “Although many of my responsibilities as Deputy Chief were rewarding, I enjoyed being a firefighter much more,” said Deputy Fire Chief O’Connor. “I’d like to finish out my career with the FWFD doing something I really love.”

    In his duties as Deputy Fire Chief, O’Connor was instrumental in keeping Department costs low while still providing a high level of service. His more recent contributions to the community include the construction of Fire Station 14, the implementation of new air packs and radios, the purchase of new fire apparatus, and the transition to the new vehicle maintenance building. Deputy Fire Chief O’Connor was also directly involved with the officer promotional processes and responsible for the day to day work of the Operations Division.

    “I appreciate the nine years of service that Adam O’Connor dedicated to the City of Fort Wayne as its Deputy Fire Chief,” said Fire Chief Lahey. “With his return to the engine house, there is no doubt that Adam’s technical proficiency will be an asset to the Operations Division. However, his presence in the administration will be missed.”

He often quoted the West Point Cadet Maxim: ‘Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.’ I’m excited to see what this new group of officers will accomplish in their careers.”
