A message to all followers and page viewers - We post photos and report stories from our calls and given the nature of our responses not all are pleasant to view. Discretion is required. We, perhaps more than most, understand people are involved in nearly all of our calls and that those people have family and friends like we do. We take great care to only show what is reasonably within the public domain, do not show anything that is personally identifiable, and in serious ins...tances like these, wait until the news media has posted their stories. We believe these posts have a value to the public in terms of safety education by showing the consequences of our actions and their impacts to our neighbors. We are by no means perfect in our execution but we are thoughtful and deliberate in doing so. We also expect civil dialog on our page. If one chooses to comment please ensure that your comments are respectful bearing in mind the people involved, our audience, and the purpose of our page. We reserve the right to remove any comment or follower who we deem to be offensive or inappropriate. Thanks for your continued support. See more

As many of you may know, one of our own members has been battling cancer. Eric Redefer, or as we know him as Bert, has been fighting for weeks now with chemothe...rapy, radiation, and more. He has a surgery scheduled for the upconing weeks. We are hosting a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Saturday 12/12 from 12-7pm at our firehall on Pine Hollow rd. We will have take out and dine in, but with limited seating, if permitted, due to the covid regulations. Our hall will be cleaned all times during the event. We will also have a chinese auction as well. We already have multiple baskets donated and we are still accepting donations of any kind to help support Bert. Dinner includes Pasta, meatball, salad, bread/roll. $10 donation. Tickets are available at the door, and you can also purchase them here and we will mail to you. The link is below. Thank you all for your help and understanding. Bert has always been there for his friends, family and community. Now it is our turn to be there for him. Berts Battle has just begun. https://checkout.square.site/buy/OXGDKYQGM6HL7JC2ZVPPX2M6
