Chief Keith Skinner surgery went good and he’s back home!

08/19/2026

Today, we ask our community to keep our Fire Chief in your thoughts and prayers as he undergoes surgery. Chief, your dedication, leadership, and commitment to serving others have made a lasting impact on our department and community.

We are praying for a successful surgery, skilled hands caring for you, comfort throughout your recovery, and a quick return to full health. Your fire family stands beside you every step of the way and looks forward to seeing you back with us soon.

“Dear Lord, we ask for Your healing hand to be upon our Chief today. Guide the surgeons, bring peace to his heart, and grant him strength and a speedy recovery. Amen.”

“But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord. — Jeremiah 30:17

From all of us at Ratcliff Volunteer Fire Department, we wish our Chief a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.❤️‍🩹

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make our Back to School Bash such a wonderful success!

We are incredibly grateful to our amazing volunteers who gave their time and worked so hard to make this event possible. Your dedication and willingness to serve our community truly made a difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated school supplies. Thank you Jeffie Cole Stone for your monetary donation! Because of your generosity, we were able to help local students head back to school with the supplies they need for a successful year.

To all the families who attended, thank you for spending the day with us. Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces made all the hard work worthwhile.

This event would not have been possible without the support of our incredible community. Thank you for believing in us and helping us invest in the future of our children.

From all of us at the Ratcliff Volunteer Fire Department, thank you for making this year’s Back to School Bash one to remember. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
