Don’t invite us to your firework show. We really don’t want to go.
Make sure you are pointing any fireworks in a safe direction. Watch out for fingers and eyes. Follow manufacturer guidelines. Keep the little ones safe and away from harm’s way.
Happy 250th 4th of July.
If we do have to come we like BBQ.

🔥🎗️ June is
🔥 PTSD AWARENESS MONTH 🔥

Not all scars are visible.

Every call, every rescue, every life-changing moment leaves an impact. Firefighters and first responders face unimaginable situations in the line of duty, and the mental wounds can last long after the flames are out.

This PTSD Awareness Month, let's break the stigma, encourage open conversations, and remind our heroes that seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.

To every firefighter battling unseen struggles: You are not alone. Your courage matters, your story matters, and your mental health matters.

💙 Support. Understand. Advocate.🇺🇸🚒🔥❤️...!

We’re asking prayers for our brother fireman Richard Fisher he is currently in the hospital, battling some intestinal issues. Richard has been in good standing on the department for 23 years. 

Update
Just wanted to let everyone know that the power of prayer is working.
Richard was scheduled for a procedure tomorrow, but the doctor came in this morning and said that he looked good and he is on his way home now.

As the winter storm approaches, please be mindful of icing roads. Please stay home if possible because of dangerous, driving conditions. If there is an emergency situation just remember there may be a delayed response because our emergency responders are going to have to travel with extra precautions.
Have a blessed weekend and stay warm.
