🚨🚨🚨FIREFIGHTER SPOTLIGHT TONIGHT🚨🚨🚨

Our very own Firefighter Jay Warren is just a MAN AMONG BOYS tonight as 3 SIDED SOUL rocked the campus of Hocking College tonight.

Jay works full time at Rocky Boots, is a Fire 1 carded Firefighter and in his free time he’s in his element behind the drums. The man has a talent that some of us only can dream about. Jays a down to earth guy that we get to make fun of at the firehouse but when it come to music we just put our tail between our legs and wish we were him.

Tonight Jay Warren you are a bunch of guys idol!!!

We sound like a broken record after every fund raiser that we have and that’s because YOU the York Twp Community ALWAYS step up when it time to help others. Just a guess we went thru

22 Dozen Eggs
10 # Bag of pancake mix
40 # of bacon
25 # of sausage
30 # of tators
50 # of sausage gravy
20 Dozen biscuits
200 French toast sticks
7 Gallons of milk/oj

After all was said and done we were able to hand the Girls a 3” piece of hose with let’s just say an OUTSTANDING amount in it. That’s all thanks to everyone that gave, everyone that donated items, it truly takes us all to pull something like this off.

Hats off to all of our Firefighters and Auxiliary members for busting their butts for 6 hours, these events are non-stop teamwork at its best.

Also after the event a group stepped up and took care of the funeral bill so what was raised today can help even more towards the massive amount of medical bills.

Once your in the York Firefighter family, your in it for life. May God bless these three beautiful ladies and may their days become easier.

Thanks again everyone.
