We had so much fun at Halloween Safe Night at Papillion Landing last week! We handed out candy, met lots of new friends, and swore in about a dozen new firefighters -- keep an eye out for your shift schedules being sent to you this week 😉 #pfdalwaysready #pfdne #halloween

"This town ain't big enough for the both of us" 🤠🚒 Engine 3 had a standoff with this little guy last night at Halloween Safe Night - a Japanese-made Daihatsu Hijet fire truck. Thanks to the Squires family for sharing this awesome truck with us! #pfdalwaysready #showdown

We're so excited to see you at Halloween Safe Night tonight at the Papillion Landing Fieldhouse! If your child is dressed as a first responder, find our table at 6:45 pm for a "swearing in" ceremony and some special treats. Then hang around and try to win some prizes in the costume contest! 😉🎃

#NationalFirePreventionMonth isn't over yet, which means your #PFD crews are still busy doing presentations and safety talks all over Papillion and La Vista! ☺🚒🚑

Join us at Papillion Landing at Halloween Safe Night for our first Halloween Swearing In event!

A special congratulations to Logan Hansen, Cody Kelley, and Alex Schwers, #PapillionFire's graduates who are already hard at work! #pfdalwaysready #pfdne #fireacademygraduation #newfirefighters

In case anyone was worried....we did win the Texas Roadhouse (Papillion, NE - 7302 Olson Drive) Rib Eating Contest over the weekend for the 3rd year in a row😉👑 This friendly competition raised $1000 for the Helmet & Shield Foundation!

Firefighters Meyers (pictured), Victor, and Strobbe attended the @mccneb yesterday and had a great time speaking to students who are interested in a fire services career! #pfdalwaysready #careerfair

Just about a week left of Academy 26-2's class, and our recruits are still hard at work! Today, drills and simulations took place at the Papillion Fire Training Facility behind Papillion Public Works. Having a space where we can train real life situations with actual fire and heat, while still being able to control the environment and keep our candidates safe, only strengthens their skill set and realistically prepares them for being on the job. Finish strong, 26-2! #pfdalwaysready #fireacademy #firetraining

It's time for a #fitcheck! It's #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek, and #PFD wants to make sure your child is safely restrained in your vehicle. In passenger cars, car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and by 54% for toddlers 1 to 4 years old. For infants and toddlers in light trucks, the corresponding reductions are 58% and 59%, respectively (trafficsafetymarketing.gov/s…). You can search online for upcoming Free Car Seat Check events in the metro area, or contact Children's Nebraska for individual car seat fitting appointments by calling 402-955-8090. Certified technicians inspect installations, check harness fits, and verify that seats match your child's current age, height, and weight. Thank you for helping us keep kids safe! #pfdalwaysready
