While we do not have any current weather advisories, we are receiving a very minimal winter mix.
Keep in mind that bridges and over passes will become slick before the main roads.
Give yourself extra stoping distance!
Be safe out there friends!

An estimated 4.6 million first responders across the United States put themselves at risk every single day to help others.
From being called away from family dinners to missing holidays, enduring long nights, and those shifts that seem to never end, we understand the weight that comes with the job.

Words will never be enough to express our gratitude.
Thank you for answering the call, no matter the cost.

Joint trainings like this aren’t just about learning techniques, they strengthen the teamwork and trust between departments that often respond side by side.

Fueling Up the Salukis!
Last night, the Christy Fire Protection District had the pleasure of feeding the (playoff bound) Red Hill High School Football Team a well-deserved fried chicken dinner! It’s always a good time when we get to support our local athletes.

Good food, great company, and a team worth cheering for. Go Salukis! 🔥🏈🐾

🔥 Fire Safety Day at Sumner Attendance Center! 🔥

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Fire Safety Day for the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from Sumner Attendance Center! The students made the walk over and got an up-close look at what firefighters do every day.

They watched a live vehicle extrication demo, learned about smoke behavior with live fire, explored our children’s smoke trailer, and sat in on an fire safety presentation.

It’s always a great day when we get to teach the next generation about fire safety, prevention, and the work that goes on behind the scenes. A big thank you to the staff and students for spending part of their day with us!
