🚒 As summer temperatures climb, it’s important to take simple but effective steps to prevent heat-related illness. Hydration is key—drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and a hat to help your body stay cool. During the hottest parts of the day, try to limit outdoor activity and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning. Be aware of warning signs like dizziness, fatigue, headache, or nausea, which can indicate heat exhaustion. These symptoms can escalate quickly, especially for young children, older adults, and first responders in the field.
At High Ridge Fire, we care about our community and hope these simple tips help you enjoy a happy, healthy, and safe summer. 🔥

Firefighter Fitness: Strength That Serves
At High Ridge Fire District, we go beyond traditional Fire and EMS training. Our firefighters train like tactical athletes—because on the fireground, physical strength plays a critical role in preventing injuries and performing safely under pressure.
Whether it’s lifting charged hose lines, extrication tools, stacks of cones, or even people, the demands placed on our bodies are intense and unpredictable. Building strength in these practical movement patterns helps us work more efficiently, reduce injury risk, and serve our community more effectively.
To support this, we invest in personal physical education—bringing in professionals to educate our members on strength training, recovery, nutrition, and sleep. These sessions are designed to build long-term resilience without overexerting members during their shifts.
We also have many members who serve the district through various committees—one of which is our Health & Wellness Committee. This volunteer-led team researches and recommends evidence-based programs, educational opportunities, and equipment to help guide our department toward a healthier, stronger, and more capable future—for both our members and the community we proudly serve.
We encourage everyone to see themselves as athletes in their own lives. Taking care of your physical health isn’t just about emergencies—it’s about having the ability to provide for your loved ones and fully enjoy the life you work hard to build.
We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our community. It is our mission and privilege to serve you—and we’re committed to doing it stronger, smarter, and better every day.

🚒 Annual Hose Testing Underway at High Ridge Fire 🚒
It`s that time of year again! We`re conducting our annual fire hose testing to ensure every hose is in top condition for emergency responses. Following NFPA 1962 standards, we test all hoses to their designated pressures—attack hoses to at least 300 psi and supply hoses to 200 psi—maintaining these pressures for a minimum of three minutes to check for leaks or defects.
This rigorous process is vital to guarantee our equipment performs reliably when seconds count. Thank you for your continued support!
