What an incredible weekend!

We are beyond grateful for the overwhelming support at our Fire Department Breakfast this year. Because of this amazing community, we were able to serve 1,105 people!

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy breakfast, spend time with us, make donations, and participate in our raffle. Your continued support means more than words can express.

A huge thank you goes out to all of our business donors and sponsors who helped make this event possible through their generous contributions. Community partnerships like these truly make a difference.

We also want to recognize our firefighters and their families who dedicated their entire weekend to planning, preparing, cooking, serving, cleaning, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Events like this take a tremendous amount of teamwork and commitment behind the scenes.

We are proud to serve such an amazing community and appreciate everyone who helped make this year’s breakfast a success.

Thank you for your continued support of our department! 🚒🥞❤️

🔥 FIREFIGHTER Q&A SPOTLIGHT 🔥

Today we’re featuring Firefighter Ben Fox, who has proudly served with the 3rd Fire District for 2 years! 🚒

Ben shared what volunteering means to him — serving the community, being part of a department that feels like family, and always being there when the pager goes off. He also gave an important reminder about taking care of your mental health and leaning on others after difficult calls.

When he’s not responding to calls, Ben enjoys spending time with his family. Thank you, Ben, for your dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to the community! 👨‍🚒👏
