A little throw back to the old Station 12.

Late Monday night, L864 crews responded to reports of an officer injured. These calls are some of the hardest calls Police, Fire, and dispatchers will ever face in their careers. We’re very grateful that Officer Kauppila is going home and we wish him all the best in his recovery.

11 YEARS GOING STRONG.

Eleven years ago, our brother Donovan was battling cancer while still facing the same reality so many families do during times of crisis — life keeps moving. Mortgage payments, bills, home repairs, and everyday expenses don’t pause for hardship.

Wanting to help, a group came together to support Donovan and his family. But Donovan, being who he was, wanted something bigger than himself to come from it.

That vision became Lionhardt.

What started in honor of one firefighter, has grown into a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping first responders facing critical illnesses. Over the past 11 years, Lionhardt has continued to make a real difference for responders and their families during some of their hardest moments.

Donovan’s legacy lives on through every person helped, every family supported, and every reminder that no responder fights alone

Please give them a follow, learn more about their mission, and see how you can support those who have dedicated their lives to serving others.

We are Lionhardt

A May 28 "family fest" and touch-a-truck fundraiser will support a non-profit's mission to help first responders battling severe injuries and illnesses.
