On Oct. 13, 2001, HFD Captain Jay Jahnke made the ultimate sacrifice . Today, we remember Captain Jahnke not only for the change made known as the "4th Man" Legacy (increased staffing on units), but also for the husband, father, friend and firefighter he was. Never forget.

After a recent incident near Lockwood & Rusk, HFD reminds everyone: trains can’t stop fast. Use crossings. Stay alert. Thank you to District I Council Member Joaquin Martinez for working with @HFDChiefMunoz & HFD to help share this important safety reminder with our community.
