Who knows what the weather will do rain, snow, or a random 65° , but one thing’s certain:
you’ve got plans on January 10th.

Last year we had 136 players, which meant great payouts, and the half-pot topped $700. Not bad… but we think we can do better.

Come early. Stay late. Bring your lucky charms and dig deep into your pockets. Let’s beat those numbers.

Funds donated to the Firefighters Association do not pay department bills. They go toward school programs, firefighter needs as they arise, special classes or equipment we want, and fingers crossed a scholarship program in the near future.

We can’t wait to see you January 10th at the VFW.
If you’d like to RSVP, there’s an event link on our page below.

We’re speaking on behalf of the area fire departments. It has already been a busy day across Lawrence county, and now temperatures are dropping fast. As conditions move into subzero territory, firefighting becomes significantly more difficult and dangerous.

Why cold like this is a problem:
• Water freezes in hoses, pumps, and hydrants, sometimes faster than we can move it
• Equipment becomes brittle and more likely to fail
• Ice builds up on scenes, creating serious slip and fall hazards
• Firefighters fatigue faster and face increased risk of frostbite and hypothermia

We’ll still respond. We always do. Just understand that extreme cold turns every call into a tougher, riskier operation, for everyone involved.

Please please please use extra caution tonight and tomorrow!

Yesterday, Asst. Chief Jake Brian and Capt. Barkley White accepted a check on behalf of the Christy Fire Protection District. Thanks to the Mary Heath Foundation, we’re bringing home over $5,000 for a brand-new Sensit Gold G3.

This little powerhouse helps us track down gas leaks above and below ground, monitor confined spaces, and check for dangerous gases during overhaul. It gives us readings on oxygen levels, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide, basically everything you don’t want floating around your face.

BIG THANK YOU to the Mary Heath Foundation for helping us keep our community (and ourselves) safer.

🥶 🚨 Weekend Weather Alert! 🚨 🥶

Arctic air rolls in Saturday, and local meteorologist Jesse Walker WTWO is calling for wind chills near -20° by Sunday morning. At those temps, exposed skin can get frostbite in minutes, hypothermia can sneak up fast, and your body’s “stay warm” system starts to fail. Vehicles become unreliable, pipes freeze that usually do not, and simple mistakes like getting wet or standing in the wind can become life-threatening very fast.

Check on your neighbors, and make proper arrangements for your animals.

After tonight’s quarterly SCBA review and air pack maintenance (photo in comments), we started sorting and packing toys from this year’s toy drive. More than 50 kids in our area will be waking up to a little extra Christmas because of it. No fanfare. No lights and sirens. Just quiet work and real Christmas spirit. 🎄
