1:53 a.m., two-alarm fire, E. Boston. 7 occupants jumped to safety. Fire crews had to cut through the walls upstairs to access the fire due to the walkway not being stable. Cause of the fire is due to an improperly disposed cigarette. #wichitaFD
Regarding our (really) short video earlier, did you guess correctly?
Crews from Sta 15 & Truck 3 were sent to an assist a citizen call at the McDonalds at Harry/Rock earlier today. We're happy to report crews successfully rescued the ducklings from the storm drain. #wichitafd
Give us your best guess... what was Station 15 doing here? #wichitafd We will give you the answer here this evening!
A little excitement on the east side today at Marshall’s deparment store loading dock. Fire was contained inside the trash compactor. Rescue 2 was able to move the container away from the building to keep it from spreading. #wichitaFD

Don't forget, clocks need to spring ahead an hour, and your smoke alarm batteries need changed! If you tested your alarms today, throw us a thumbs up in the comments for your chance to win two free admission tickets to the Kansas Firefighter's Museum! #wichitafd
It's 2 am, anyone up changing their clocks? Technically, this is when the time actually changes. When you do change your clocks, don't forget to change your smoke alarm batteries & test them as well! #wichitaFD
