🇺🇸 A Community United in Support of Our Troops 🇺🇸

Today, the members of the Summit Ironville Fire Department were deeply honored to help lead and es**rt the brave soldiers of the Army National Guard 201st Battalion FSC and HHC to Huntington Tri-State Airport as they begin their overseas deployment.

Alongside the dedicated members of the Patriot Guard Riders Kentucky, several fire departments, the Boyd County Sheriff's Office, and Emergency Management, we witnessed something truly special—a community coming together to show unwavering support for the men and women who have answered the call to serve our nation.

As these soldiers leave behind their families, friends, careers, and the comforts of home, they carry with them the strength, pride, and gratitude of the communities they protect. The sight of so many people standing together in support was a powerful reminder that while they may be traveling thousands of miles away, they will never walk alone.

To every soldier deploying today: thank you. Thank you for your courage, your selfless sacrifice, and your commitment to defending the freedoms we often take for granted. Your willingness to stand watch over our nation is an inspiration to us all.

To the families left behind: we recognize your sacrifice as well. The strength, resilience, and love you show while supporting your service members does not go unnoticed. You serve alongside them in your own way, and our thoughts and prayers are with you throughout this deployment.

May God watch over these brave men and women, grant them strength for the mission ahead, protect them from harm, and bring each of them safely home to the arms of their loved ones.

Please join us in keeping these soldiers and their families in your thoughts and prayers. It is always a privilege to support our troops, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make today's es**rt possible.

From all of us at Summit Ironville Fire Department: stay strong, stay safe, and know that your community stands proudly behind you. We will be here, flags flying and hearts full of gratitude, ready to welcome every one of you home.

🇺🇸 God Bless Our Troops. God Bless Their Families. God Bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

🚑🔥 NATIONAL EMS WEEK 🔥🚑

Whether it’s the middle of the night, a holiday, or during someone’s worst moment — these men and women answer the call without hesitation.

We are incredibly fortunate to work alongside some of the absolute best in the business with our brothers and sisters at Boyd County Emergency Medical Services. The teamwork between fire and EMS is something special, and we’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these professionals every day.

Today we especially want to recognize our very own members who not only serve our community through the fire department, but also dedicate their careers to EMS.

🚔💙 National Police Week 💙🚔

During National Police Week, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank all of the dedicated law enforcement officers who serve and protect our communities each and every day. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment do not go unnoticed.

At Summit Ironville Fire Department, we are extremely thankful for the strong working relationships we share with the Boyd County Sheriff's Office and Kentucky State Police Post 14. These partnerships allow all of us to work together with one common goal — protecting and better serving our community.

This week, we especially want to recognize three of our very own members who proudly serve not only as firefighters, but also as law enforcement officers.

👮‍♂️ Captain Angela N Steve Lake
Captain Lake has been a member of Summit Ironville Fire Department since 2015. He began his career in law enforcement in 2008 as a patrolman and currently serves as a Major with the Boyd County Sheriff’s Department. His leadership, dedication, and years of service continue to make a tremendous impact both on and off the fireground.

👮‍♂️ Firefighter Seth Hatfield
Seth has been a member of our department since 2021. He started his law enforcement career in 2016 and currently serves as a patrolman with the Boyd County Sheriff’s Department. His commitment to serving others and protecting our community is something we are proud to stand beside every day.

🐕‍🦺👮‍♂️ Firefighter Nathaniel Porter
Nathan joined Summit Ironville Fire Department in 2020 and began his law enforcement career in 2024. He currently serves as a K9 Officer with the Kenova Police Department alongside his incredible K9 partner, Stark. Their dedication, teamwork, and service deserve tremendous recognition and appreciation.

To these men — and to all law enforcement officers — thank you for the long hours, the sacrifices, the difficult calls, and the unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe. We are proud to serve beside you.

Please join us in showing appreciation and support for all law enforcement officers during National Police Week. 💙
