Mayday events can stop an incident in its tracks, as the team refocuses efforts on locating a downed, trapped or disoriented firefighter. Firefighters are encouraged to call a mayday whenever they feel they need help from fellow crewmembers and not wait until it is too late to be reached. The FireRescue1 Mayday resource page provides essential information on how to train for mayday events, video on how to prevent mayday events, details of the rapid-intervention team, plus news of mayday events and Rapid Response analysis of mayday incidents.

FireRescue1 Unforgettable Calls is a place where firefighters from across the country can connect to share their stories about the calls that have stayed with them, everything from the play by play of a mayday call to the memorable moment a patient thanked them for saving their life.

If you’d like to share your story with the FireRescue1 community, please review our submission guidelines and email editor@firerescue1.com.

We learn so much from the actions of others, even simply knowing that others have been through similar experiences. Share your dramatic rescues, complex extrications, touch-and-go moments with patients, the humanity of brothers and sisters helping each other after natural disasters – any moment you consider truly unforgettable.

Every week, we select a Photo of the Week to feature in our Friday Member Newsletter and on FireRescue1’s Instagram page. Photos can include anything from fireground scenes and crewmembers in action to fire apparatus on display and community events. But don’t let that limit your imagination!

So the next time you come across something inspiring on duty, take out the camera and submit it to FireRescue1! Just remember to include your name, agency information and brief background information on the picture.

Please note that images submitted to FireRescue1 for inclusion in Photo of the Week are unpaid submissions, and we may ask you for permission to use the image with other content in the future. Photos should be current (taken within a month of submission). Safety tip: Never take photos during fire and rescue operations. Ensure that you are fully focused on your crewmembers, and only submit photos taken during safe operations and activities.
