UL Fire Equipment Services spent the last three days doing our annual ladder, aerial, and pump tests. These are critically important tests for us to have performed on a yearly basis ensuring our equipment is ready to perform when needed.

I want to take a couple of seconds and recognize two of our members for reaching an amazing milestone.

Congratulations to Fire Apparatus Engineer/AEMT Nick Hinman and Firefighter/EMT Elijah Budd for passing your National Registry test for Paramedic.

Your long hours, sleepless nights and what seemed to be endless studies and classes has paid off.

We are all so proud of the two of you. Keep up the great work!

Face painting
Kids' temporary tattoos

And plenty of additional surprises throughout the evening

"This is one of our favorite events of the year because it gives us the opportunity to spend time with the people we serve in a relaxed, family-friendly setting," said Chief David Leavitt. "Strong communities are built on relationships, and National Night Out is a great opportunity to get to know your local first responders, ask questions, and simply enjoy an evening together."

Fire Chief Troy Shoemaker added, "Whether you've lived in Alliance your entire life or have just recently joined our community, we hope you'll come out and spend the evening with us. We're looking forward to meeting families, visiting with neighbors, and making this year's National Night Out our best yet."

The City of Alliance has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 Public Fireworks Display due to several factors affecting public safety.

Fire Chief Troy Shoemaker stated, "Due to current weather conditions, the elevated fire danger, and Fire Department personnel being deployed to assist with the Log Road fire in Sioux County, it is not in the best interest of public safety to hold this year's Fireworks Display."

We understand this event is a cherished tradition for many in our community, and we share in the disappointment of its cancellation.

However, the safety of our residents, visitors, and emergency personnel must remain our highest priority.

We appreciate the community's understanding and support during this time.
