One of the many skills practiced by Kaufman Fire Department firefighters is the ability to safely self-extricate while operating in challenging environments. The “Smooth, Bump to Bump, to the Pump” tactic reinforces controlled movement, maintaining contact with walls or objects for orientation, and working methodically toward a safe exit point.

At the Kaufman Fire Department, we believe that every skill practiced today prepares us for the emergency of tomorrow.

When you leave your children with a babysitter, make sure they’re prepared for more than just bedtime routines and snacks—they should also know what to do in an emergency.

Before you leave:
✅ Share your phone number and home address
✅ Review your family’s home escape plan
✅ Show them two ways out of every room
✅ Identify your outdoor meeting place
✅ Make sure they know how to unlock doors and windows
✅ Explain what to do if a smoke alarm sounds

If your babysitter may be cooking, review kitchen safety basics and keep matches, lighters, and other fire hazards out of reach.

A few minutes of preparation can make all the difference during an emergency.

👶🚒 Help keep your children safe by making fire safety part of every babysitting plan.

🍋🚒 A Sweet Stop in Kaufman! 🚒🍋

Today, members of the Kaufman Fire Department had the opportunity to stop by a local lemonade stand at 701 S. Madison Street and support one of our young community members. We enjoyed some refreshing lemonade and even better conversation!

What makes this stand even more special is that all proceeds benefit Clothed in Grace Foster Closet, helping support local foster families and children in need.

We love seeing young people making a positive impact in our community. Thank you for the lemonade and for helping make Kaufman a great place to live, work, and serve! ❤️

🔥 Fire Tip Friday 🔥

Cooking safety starts with creating a 3-foot kid-free zone around stoves, ovens, and grills. Hot surfaces, food, and liquids can cause serious burns in seconds.

✅ Turn pot handles inward
✅ Keep children and pets away from cooking areas
✅ Never carry a child while cooking
✅ Mark off safe zones when grilling outdoors

This summer grilling season, stay alert and help keep your family safe!

🚒 Cook Safe. Keep Them Away.

Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten. Memorial Day is more than a holiday — it is a time to reflect on the heroes who answered the call and laid down their lives for others.

As we gather with family and friends, let us remember the true meaning of this day and pay tribute to those who made our freedom possible.

From all of us at The Kaufman Fire Department, we extend our deepest gratitude to our fallen heroes and their families.
