It is with deep sadness that our officers, members and families extend our most sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Lt. Zachary Staggs, and his colleagues of the Royalton Fire Department for their loss. Please join us in continued prayers, outreach, and support for the family, our brothers and sisters of the Royalton Fire Department, and our neighboring community members as they mourn their loss of a beloved one to them all.

For all those that are inquiring….

Christopher Fire Department along with other members of multiple agencies responded tonight to a motor vehicle accident and a power pole struck and down, causing power to flicker inside areas of the city limits. It is unknow right now if incidents are related, and the matters are independently under investigation.

No Christopher Firefighting personnel were directly involved in either motor vehicle incident.

Thank you All for your continued support!

Just….Wow…I am so proud of Christopher and the surrounding communities that have banded together to collect items of need for these small communities so heavily affected! You have all warmed my heart as well as the firefighters that worked to sort and box your donations for transport and delivery. I have never seen people happier to receive, and a more positive group through possibly the worst experience of their lives. They are Grateful! Great job to all! ❤️

I cant say enough words about all of the community members that rose to the occasion, and brought in donations of much needed items to our drive last night. Thank You all and God Bless you for your considerations and gifts to those who are hurting. I am very proud of the City of Christopher today, and Always for their caring of others! The drive will continue on until the need is no longer there, but I wanted to let all know that the first load will be headed South to the small community of Dawson Springs, KY, a town much like our own, on Saturday. Initially it was to be today, but figure it best to stay clear of the Politics. Please feel free to bring all donations in to the Fire Station, or may leave at City Hall should no one be around. They will get to those that need not only the relief, but also the smiles that the love for another we don't even know, may bring to them. Thank You to All from the bottom of our hearts here at the FD.

All of us sat together on the edges of our seats last night waiting and praying for the predictions of catastrophic weather to pass us by. Most of us were fortunate in seeing the fruits of our prayers and anticipation, but many our neighbors to the South were not, and are presently fighting loss of both property and loved ones, along with struggling to care for themselves and neighbors. I implore us all to reach out and help those brothers and sisters that are struggling, especially in the cold, and this time of year. The Christopher Fire Department along with other departments in the area will be accepting donations of supplies such as those listed in the attached message I have received from that area, and non-perishables, and anything else that we may be compelled to donate. No matter the size of the donations big or small, we will transport to the communities in need by weeks end. The station will be open Tuesday evening from 5 until 9, and for any other availability, please contact myself, Chief Tim Learned @ (618)-534-8583. Thank you to all willing to participate!

The Members of the Christopher Fire Department want to remind our friends, families, and citizens that it is that time of year again. Of all the electronics we keep in our homes, none are more important to maintain then our smoke detectors. It has been proven time and again... “Smoke Detectors Save Lives!” For yourselves, your loved ones, and those of us that care about our citizens...Change the Clocks...and Change the Batteries 👍🏼😁

Dry on Top and Wet under the brush make for dangerous burning conditions. We understand the weather is beautiful and Spring fever is stronger than ever after a year locked away, but please be responsible and safe for yourself, your family, your friends, and your neighbors...No Burning until ban has been lifted.
Thank You,
Christopher Fire Department

A burn ban order has been issued for Franklin County due to an elevated fire danger. Residents are asked to refrain from burning until Wednesday, 3/10/2021 at 6PM.

As you go about your routines and Monday morning struggles, please take the time to remember the cowardly attack that took place on our great nation so many years ago and took so much from us. Arisen from the Ashes.
