28 years ago tonight around 5:00 a fire call came in that has, and always will be a night to remember. Two firefighters were killed in the line of duty. RIP Mike Mapes and Doug Buckert. May we never forget.

🔥 Big Night for Training in Carthage! 🔥

Last night, Carthage Fire Department had the privilege of hosting a state-sponsored Live Burn training at our very own training center.

Just two years ago we started building this facility with the hope that it would one day be used for nights like this — where firefighters from across the region could train together, side by side, just like we would on a real fireground.

This training brought together 8 local fire departments, building teamwork, skills, and confidence that will make us all stronger when the call comes in.

A huge THANK YOU to:
👏 MABAS 61 – for supplying a light tower
👏 MABAS 31 – for supplying an air truck and operator
👏 Our amazing IFSI instructors
👏 The CFD Training Center Committee – for the hard work and vision to make this possible
👏Carthage Fire Explorers
👏 The City of Carthage – for your continued support
👏Hancock County EMS - For EMS Stand-by

Together, we’re training harder so we can serve you better. 🚒💪

🇺🇸 Deployment Send-Off 🇺🇸

The Carthage Fire Department would like to wish Firefighter Jarvis the very best as he begins his deployment with the Illinois National Guard.

Ellis will be serving for the next year in the Middle East alongside his fellow soldiers out of Macomb, Illinois. While deployed, their mission will focus on strengthening infrastructure and operating heavy equipment to support communities abroad.

We are proud of Ellis’ dedication to both his community here at home and to our country. Please join us in keeping Ellis and his unit in your thoughts and prayers for a safe and successful deployment.

We look forward to welcoming him back home to Carthage when his mission is complete.

👨‍🚒🇺🇸 Stay safe, Ellis. We are proud of you!
