😷Kansas City, it's time to mask up.
Together we can #StopTheSpread of #COVID19.
And protect the most vulnerable in our community who cannot wear a mask.
1-800-BOARDUP holds up in prayer the KCPD Officer. You are not alone in your fight. Appreciation to the neighboring departments who are covering KC at this time. Stay safe. #ThinBlueLine @kcpolice @KCMO
Leave the July 4th celebrations to the pros! However if your home falls victim to yourself or your neighbors fireworks displays and the local FD is “invited” to your home, we’ll stand ready to assist you and your family. “Around the metro-Around the clock” – at Kansas City, MO
All of us in the KC office of 1-800-BOARDUP extend our best to the dads out there this Father’s Day. Thank you for being a “promise keeper”. Stay safe for your family. – at Kansas City, MO
It’s been a busy Sunday for our crews. Vehicle into a building in Gladstone; structure fire in Liberty; securing a building after a break-in in KCMO. Honored to be of service to these communities. @800BoardupKC @IAFFLocal42 @happyrockfire @LibertyMissouri – at Kansas City, MO
Signs/symptoms of HEAT STROKE - You’ve stopped sweating when working, body is hot to the touch. THIS IS A TRUE MEDICAL EMERGENCY! Dial 9-1-1! Get person out of the sun, cold compress’s around the neck, arm pits, and groin area. Cold compress helps cool blood circulating. – at Kansas City, MO
Recognize the signs/symptoms of heat exhaustion. Sweating profusely, nausea, headaches. When you feel those take a break in the shade or cool environment and drink WATER. – at Kansas City, MO
It’s going to be a warm one today! Heat indexes close to 100. Drink plenty of water, take many breaks (if outside), or postpone work until early AM or early evening. – at Kansas City, MO
Keeping the folks in Lone Jack and Lake Lotawana in our prayers. Trained spotters report a tornado in that area. Seek shelter immediately!
Couldn’t have said it better... – at Kansas City, MO
During these tense moments @KCMOFireDept @IAFFLocal42 & @IAFFLocal3808 crews and members have performed with professionalism and with high regard while caring for our community we call home. #staysafekc

Often we get called to help people during some of the worst moments of their lives. But sometimes we get to be there for some of the best moments, too. Happy birthday, brother Weeb. Thank you for your service, and for letting us be part of your 90th birthday.
We hope everyone stays safe tonight in KC, both Protesters and police. Demonstrating is one thing. Violate damage to buildings is another. One helps your cause - the other doesn’t. #staysafe

Great to spend quality time (social distance) with the command staff of Leavenworth FD this morning. Appreciate all they do for their citizens.
