Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District has a new four-legged team member.
Olive, a therapy dog in training through Hearts 4 Heroes, was officially introduced Wednesday during the Board of Fire Commissioners meeting.
According to Truckee Meadows Fire, Olive will visit stations, connect with firefighters and provide comfort to crews following difficult calls and during critical incident debriefings.
"When she's off duty, Olive enjoys hiking and hanging out at local coffee shops. Olive may be small, but she has a big job ahead of her," Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue said.
