🔥 55 YEARS OF PREVENTION | GENERATIONS
Generations Change. The Mission Continues.
These two photographs were taken generations apart, but they represent something that has remained constant throughout the history of Boles Fire Protection District: people willing to serve their community and protect their neighbors.
The uniforms have changed. The equipment has changed. The apparatus, technology, and even many of the fire hazards we face have changed.
But the reason we're here hasn't.
For the past week, we've used pieces of our history to share lessons that can help protect your home and family today. We've talked about working smoke alarms, home escape plans, cooking safety, lithium-ion batteries and safe charging, fire extinguishers, and heating safety.
Some of those lessons have been taught for generations. Others address hazards that firefighters 55 years ago could never have imagined.
Every one of them has the same purpose: keeping you and your family safe.
Fire Prevention Week ends today, but fire prevention doesn't.
It happens when you test your smoke alarms. When your family practices an escape plan. When you stay with what you're cooking. When you charge a device safely. When you give heating equipment the space it needs.
And sometimes, the best emergency is the one we can help prevent from ever happening.
To those who served before us, those who serve today, and the community that has trusted us for 55 years—thank you.
Generations Change. The Mission Continues.
55 Years of Prevention. One Mission: Keeping Our Community Safe.
