Always a privilege to get out in the community and talk to students about fire safety! Thank you to Visionway Christian School. 🚒

Congratulations to Kobe Wheaton on his well-deserved promotion to Captain with the Taylorville Fire Department!

We’re proud to welcome you into this new leadership role and look forward to all you’ll continue to bring to our department and our community. Thank you for your dedication, service, and commitment to keeping Taylorville safe.

🚨🚨Extreme Heat today and Saturday!!!
If you are out in the heat, make sure you drink plenty of fluids and take frequent breaks.

As a reminder, the Taylorville Fire Station is open as a cooling center from 7am to 8pm each day.

We appreciate Assumption AGCO-GSI for welcoming TFD over the past few weeks for CPR and first aid recertification training.

TFD is proud to offer AHA CPR courses to businesses and individuals throughout the area. Contact 217-824-2295 for more information!

Due to the excessive heat, the Taylorville Fire Department will be open as a cooling center from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the remainder of the week.

If you do not have access to air conditioning or a safe way to escape the heat, please feel free to stop by the fire station and cool off.

Please stay hydrated, limit time outdoors, and check on family, friends, and neighbors who may be especially vulnerable to the heat.

It was a busy week of training at the Taylorville Fire Department.

TFD hosted a Paramedic Skills Week while also conducting a Rope Operations course focused on building the technical skills needed for complex rescue situations.

We would like to thank Ryan Evans for joining us as our expert instructor and sharing his knowledge and experience throughout the Rope Operations course.

TFD also teamed up with the Litchfield Fire Department, with a total of eight members completing the course. Training alongside our neighboring departments strengthens our capabilities, builds teamwork, and helps ensure we are prepared when these specialized skills are needed.

Special thank you to the Taylorville Lake staff for providing us a place to train and to everyone who helped make a busy and productive week of training possible.
