Tonight, our S.A.V.E.S. volunteers attended the annual Morgan County Volunteer Fire Association banquet. During the evening, awards were presented, and we are proud to share the following honors:

• S.A.V.E.S. was named Fire Department of the Year
• Ryan Halbrooks was named Chief Officer of the Year
• Elijah Halbrooks was named Rookie Firefighter of the Year

We are incredibly proud of these individuals and of all our members, whose dedication and commitment over the past year have made these achievements possible. It is a true honor to be recognized by the association.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to the neighboring departments, EMS personnel, and law enforcement agencies who support us every day—this work would not be possible without your collaboration. Finally, we thank our community for your continued support.

Thank you all.

Just in case you were wondering what was going on at St 1 this morning. The Alabama Fire College supplied us with a prop that simulates a liquid propane fire. Props like this are crucial in training. They provide us with as close to real life experiences as possible. Our volunteers strive to be professional and trained on whatever emergencies our community may have. Thank you for your continued support.

Yesterday evening, units were dispatched to two separate incidents requiring a coordinated multi-agency response.

At approximately 6:20 PM, crews responded to a multi-vehicle collision involving entrapment and reported injuries at the intersection of Highway 36 East and Mt. Tabor Road.

Shortly thereafter, at approximately 7:20 PM, units were dispatched to a second incident in the 200 block of Bean Road involving a single motorcycle.

Incidents such as these highlight the professionalism, training, and dedication of all responding agencies, as well as the strong working relationships that allow for effective coordination in critical situations.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all departments involved for their assistance and commitment to serving our community.
