Tonight our volunteers spent time sharpening one of the most important skills, airway management. From basic airway techniques to hands-on training scenarios, our members continue working hard to stay prepared for when our community needs us most.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who took time out of their evening to train and continue building their skills and knowledge. We appreciate your commitment and sacrifice!

This Mother’s Day, we want to recognize the incredible moms and wives behind the firefighters.

While many of our firefighters are away from home answering calls and serving our community, their families are making sacrifices too. Thank you to the mothers who spend holidays, dinners, and special moments supporting the ones who serve. Your strength, patience, and love do not go unnoticed.

To all the moms holding things together at home while your firefighter is on duty, we appreciate you today and every day.

Happy Mother’s Day from Margaret Fire & Rescue!

We would like to give a special shoutout to Lieutenant Ryan McQueen after receiving one of the greatest honors a parent could ask for, being called a hero by his son. ❤️🚒

Ryan was recently nominated for the Liberty Learning Foundation’s Super Citizen Award by his son, Maddox, who is in second grade. Maddox wrote about how his dad helps people, keeps the community safe, and serves others every day.

At Margaret Fire and Rescue, we see Ryan’s dedication to this community firsthand, and it means even more seeing that same dedication recognized through the eyes of his child.

We are proud to have Ryan as part of our department and proud of Maddox for such a heartfelt nomination. Great job, buddy!
