Always working on being better….

You don’t magically develop skills you never practiced.
You don’t discover strength you never built.
You don’t perform at a level you’ve never prepared for.

You fall back on your habits.
Your reps.
Your standards.

That’s why minimum standards are dangerous. They’re only one step above inadequate.

If you expect exceptional performance, you must put in exceptional work.

Stay Rogue

While digging through old records, I came upon some data that I can share provided by the late Fire Chief, Eugene Kropf. VFD...166 years STRONG !!

As you walked the cemeteries of the area this past weekend, you may have noticed a special flag and bronze maltese cross on some graves. These are the men who have passed and served the Vermilion Fire Department. Fire Marshal Rodney Johnston was helped this year by FF's Brady Dotson, Jessica Thomas, and Caleb German.
