Today is the 96th anniversary of the founding of The Fredericktown Fire Department. In 1926 the department was stationed on West Main St. where the city council chambers currently are housed. The department's only engine was a 1921 Ford Model T and the firefighters' only form of turnout gear was helmets and raincoats. Our department along with the fire service as a whole has seen many changes and advancements over the years. Our department now boasts a fleet of 5 apparatus including two fire engines, a ladder, a light rescue, and a brush truck. We have a roster of 20 volunteer firefighters, and currently hold an ISO rating of 4. The one constant over the last 96 years is our dedication to protecting and serving our community. We appreciate the never-ending support and are looking forward to another great year of working hard to serve our community.

Today, our friends enjoyed running and walking laps in our annual Track-A-Thon. We were joined by many of our community's first responders from Fredericktown Police Department, Madison County Missouri Sheriff's Office, Fredericktown Fire Department, Cherokee Pass Volunteer Fire Department, and Madison County Ambulance District. First responders walked with our students and let them check out some of their vehicles.
Special thanks to our volunteers who helped make Track-A-Thon possible and to Madison County Chamber of Commerce for donating bottled water for our runners!
Thank you to all the students and parents who helped us raise money for our school. Don't forget to collect your pledges and donations and return them to school by Friday, September 24.

Girl Scout Troop #72043 wants to say a big Thank You to the Fredericktown Fire Department. The girls had a great time learning about the role of a firefighter and touring the station. They do say the favorite part was spraying the water. Thanks again for protecting the community and extending the knowledge to our girls.
The Fredericktown Fire Department joined us this afternoon with one of their trucks and a fire hose for a little water fun. First and second grade students enjoyed running through the water spray.

Are you having the haunted trail tonight
I want to express my sincere thanks to your fire department for their quick response to my stove fire tonight. I wasn't cooking and it appears to have been an electrical short. I felt bad calling for what I thought was a minor fire, but was told it was a potential house fire. When something like this happens, it makes you think of what it could have been. Your firefighters came to fight a potential house fire, but thankfully they didn't have to tonight. Thanks again to all of them for their selfless response to my minor fire. We are blessed to have such dedicated first responders in our community. May God bless all of you and keep you safe.
The Fredericktown Fire Department brought their ladder truck to school today to talk to students about fire fighting and cool them off a bit. They were DRENCHED!
