🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

We have received a report that members of our community are being contacted by phone and told they previously pledged a donation to the Apple Creek Fire Department and that payment is now due. The caller then requests credit card information to process the donation.

Please be advised that the Apple Creek Fire Department does not solicit donations in this manner and will never call and request credit card information over the phone.

If you receive a call of this nature:
• Do not provide any personal or financial information.
• Hang up immediately.
• Report the incident to local law enforcement.
• Contact your bank or credit card company immediately if you have already provided payment information.

We encourage everyone to share this information, especially with elderly family members, friends, and neighbors who are often targeted by scammers.

If you have questions regarding legitimate Apple Creek Fire Department fundraising activities, please contact the department directly through our official channels.

Please share to help protect others in our community.

A huge thank you to Kaufman Realty and Auctions for providing an absolutely amazing dinner for our department meeting last night!

The pulled pork, baked beans, and coleslaw were delicious and enjoyed by all. Your generosity helped bring our firefighters and EMS providers together for a great evening of fellowship, leaving a room full of smiling faces.

We truly appreciate your continued support of our department and the community we serve. Thank you!

Wow! What a list this is for our June work anniversaries, a combined more than 130 years of service to our department and community. From one of our newest members to our most tenured member (*60 years*), each of these individuals plays an incredibly important role in our daily operations and long-term success.

Their dedication, commitment, and countless hours of service have helped shape our department into what it is today. We are grateful for everything they do and for the years they have devoted to serving others.

Congratulations on your work anniversaries, and thank you for your continued service to our department and community!
