Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or the start of summer — it is a day of remembrance for those who never made it home. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty will never be forgotten.

As we spend time with family and friends today, please take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who gave everything for our nation.

From all of us at Butler County Fire District #3, we remember and honor our fallen heroes. 🇺🇸

As this day comes to a close, we still wanted to take a moment to remember Firefighter Brandon Daley on the 19th anniversary of his Line of Duty Death.

It has been a busy day of serving our community, but it is important that we pause and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fire service. Brandon’s dedication, courage, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Please keep his family, friends, and fellow firefighters in your thoughts as we remember him today.

Gone, but never forgotten. 🚒🖤

As the day comes to a close, we took time today to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

In recognition of Fallen Firefighter Memorial Day, our flag at the station was lowered to half-staff as a sign of respect and gratitude for those who gave their lives protecting their communities.

We will never forget their dedication, courage, and service. We ask that you continue to keep their families and fellow firefighters in your thoughts.

Yesterday for May Day, we had some special visitors at the station! 🌼

Ms. Logback’s Kindergarten students from the Rose Hill Primary School stopped by to spread some cheer by hanging homemade May Day baskets on a few of our doorknobs. Afterward, they got to take a look at the fire trucks and learn a little about what we do.

Thank you for the thoughtful visit—it definitely brightened our day!

Huge thank you to Andover Auto Body for their continued support of our department! They’re always taking care of us, and today was no exception—bringing in a bunch of pizza for the crew.

We also want to give a shoutout to Bob & Luigi's Pizzeria for providing the great food. It definitely made for a good lunch at the station.

We truly appreciate the ongoing generosity and support from our community partners—it does not go unnoticed! 🚒🍕
