“Promotions in the fire service are more than a change in rank — they are a reflection of dedication, leadership, sacrifice, and commitment to serving both the department and the community. Each promotion represents years of hard work, training, and earned trust among the brotherhood and sisterhood of the fire service. Today we recognize Michael Foster as Captain and Zachary Poindexter as Engineer who continue to lead by example and uphold the proud traditions of the fire service.”

Melissa Firefighters Association had the honor of recognizing the inaugural recipients of our 2026 Legacy of Service Scholarships in partnership with the Melissa Education Foundation.

We created these scholarships to support Melissa High School seniors pursuing collegiate studies in Fire Science, Emergency Medicine, and Emergency Management — careers built around service to others and strengthening our communities.

While serving the community is what we do every day in uniform, this scholarship program gave us an opportunity to give back in a different and lasting way by investing in the next generation of leaders. With many outstanding applicants, the selection process was not easy.

Congratulations to Hailey Burch and Reese Butler on being selected as the first-ever recipients of the Melissa Firefighters Association Legacy of Service Scholarship. We are proud to support your future and cannot wait to see the impact you make.
