Congratulations to Firefighter Ryan Freeland on his recent completion of the One Bad Tour, Class 11!

One Bad Tour is an intense, 24-hour endurance and training program for firefighters that includes Truck and Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) work. It is designed to test the physical and mental limits of participants through realistic and grueling scenarios. It is a highly selective program, with hundreds of applicants and only a small number being selected for each class and even fewer completing it.

St. John’s Fire District, along with our automatic aid partners, responded to the 3900 block of Humbert Road for a reported structure fire in a vacant dwelling.

Engine 707 and Rescue 701 arrived on scene to find an outside fire that had extended to the exterior of a residence. Crews acted quickly to contain the fire and successfully limited any further extension into the structure.

No injuries were reported, and crews remained on scene to ensure complete extinguishment.

St. John’s Fire Marshal Division is investigating.
