🚒❤️ TODAY IS THE DAY! ❤️🚒

Ekron Fire & Rescue members will officially begin collecting donations for the WHAS Crusade for Children starting today! Over the next several weeks, you will see our firefighters and volunteers out door-to-door and working roadblocks throughout our community raising money for children with special needs across Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

📍 Our primary roadblock location will be:
KY Hwy 79 & Midway Road

We appreciate the continued support from our amazing community each and every year. Every dollar raised stays local through grants and assistance programs that directly help children and families in our region.

⚠️ PLEASE BE AWARE ⚠️
Unfortunately, there are scammers who may claim to be collecting donations when they are NOT associated with a fire department or the Crusade for Children.

✅ Legitimate collections will have:
• Fire department members present
• Fire apparatus on scene
• Red emergency lights flashing

❌ If someone is asking for donations and you do not see a fire truck or official fire department presence, please do not donate and contact 911 immediately.

Thank you again for supporting the WHAS Crusade for Children and Ekron Fire & Rescue! 🚒🇺🇸
