At roughly 8pm on May 30, 2026, PCCFD #1- Station 10- St George was dispatched to a working structure fire in the area of John Scott and Grantham Roads. Our pumper was first to arrive and made a quick exterior knock down then moved interior to check for extension. Automatic aid was received from Blue Township Fire Department and Louisville Township Fire Department. Later tanker support was requested from Belvue Township Fire Department . On scene support was also provided by Pottawatomie County EMS, Pottawatomie Co Sheriff's Office, and Kansas Fire Marshal. Thankfully no injuries were reported.

We are proud we were able to help in this chain of paying it forward.

Today, the members of the Belvue Township Fire Department were proud to pay it forward. Recently, our department was generously donated a 2007 Type 6 wildland engine — a tremendous upgrade for our community and responders.

In keeping with the fire service tradition of neighbors helping neighbors, we are honored to donate our former 1993 brush unit to the Lost Springs Volunteer Fire Department to help replace their current 1978 unit.

While the 1993 truck faithfully served Belvue Township for many years, we are grateful it will continue serving another rural Kansas community instead of sitting unused. Rural fire departments understand the importance of making the most of every piece of equipment, and we’re proud this apparatus will continue protecting lives and property.

This donation was facilitated through the Kansas Forest Service surplus donation program, and Sebastian Wendel did an outstanding job helping identify a department with a genuine need for the apparatus. We appreciate the work that goes into ensuring resources continue serving rural communities across Kansas.

A huge thank you again to everyone who helped make our replacement apparatus possible, including our partners at the Fire Coordinator’s Office, County Commission, and Blue Township Fire Department.

This is what the fire service is all about — supporting one another and strengthening communities together.

Last night’s training focused on hose advancement. It provided members the opportunity to go through several controlled scenarios and increase confidence.

Blue Township Fire Department relies 100% on volunteers. We are students, moms, dads, husbands, wives, business owners, teachers, government employees, etc. but the one thing we all have in common is the desire to serve. We provide all the training necessary and no experience required. We'd love to talk to you about joining!

Thank you Pottawatomie County EMS for the support you continuously show. Yesterday our crews were out working multiple rekindles and today is more of the same. Please check any brush piles or areas you may have burned over the last few days to make sure nothing is smoldering.
