East Limestone Fire Department would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Red Line Striping & Sealcoating for their assistance in repainting the parking lot marker lines at Station 1.

Maintaining clear and visible parking and apparatus access markings is important to ensuring the safety, efficiency, and readiness of our operations. Thanks to their generosity and professional workmanship, our station now has fresh, highly visible markings that will help support daily operations and emergency response activities.

We are grateful for the continued support of local businesses that invest in our department and our community. Partnerships like these help us better serve the citizens of East Limestone.

Thank you, Red Line Striping & Sealcoating, for your support of the East Limestone Fire Department! 🚒🇺🇸

Some calls you never forget. Some you carry for the rest of your life.

Chief John Roberts opens up about the hardest call he has ever run. A fatal house fire. The kind of call that changes you.
This is the part of volunteer service most people never see. The weight our members carry home long after the trucks are back in the bay. The faces, the silence, the questions that don't have answers. They show up anyway. Again and again. For people they may never meet, on the worst day of those people's lives.

This is the heart of what we do. Not the lights and sirens. The cost. And the calling to keep answering despite it.

Take a few minutes and listen to the chief. Then hold your people close today.

One County. One Mission.

Meet our Chief: John Roberts.

Behind every call and every truck rolling out, there's leadership setting the tone. Take a few minutes to get to know the man at the helm of East Limestone Volunteer Fire Department, in his own words.

When you see him around the community, say hello. He's one of us, serving all of us.

One County. One Mission.

Happy Fathers Day

**EAST LIMESTONE FIRE DEPARTMENT**
**Incident Update: Dumpster Fire (Active Scene)**

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, at approximately 2:29 PM, just a short time after placing our trucks back in service from this morning's structure fire, East Limestone Fire Department was dispatched to a reported dumpster fire with flames and smoke showing.

Crews arrived to find a construction dumpster on the roadway with flames and smoke showing and no structures in danger.

East Limestone units, including Engine 117 and Squad 217, are actively on scene working the incident at this time.

There is no threat to surrounding structures. Motorists in the area should expect emergency vehicles on scene and are asked to slow down, move over, and use caution when passing.

We will provide additional updates as they become available.

We want to thank every member responding for their work today.

EAST LIMESTONE FIRE DEPARTMENT
Incident Update: Structure Fire

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, at approximately 11:47 AM, East Limestone Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire with smoke and flames coming from a garage.

Engine 117, Engine 217, Squad 117, and East Limestone crews arrived to find smoke showing from the structure. Firefighters quickly established a water supply and put water on the fire, with the blaze reported out at 12:02 PM, just minutes after the attack began. Crews then ventilated the structure and completed overhaul to ensure no hidden hot spots remained. Utility providers were notified to secure power to the home.

A family was displaced as a result of the fire. The American Red Cross was contacted and is assisting those affected.

A reminder to our community: if you have a fire, get everyone out and call 911 first. Never try to fight a working fire on your own. Your life and the lives of your family are always worth more than any property.

We want to thank every member who responded for their fast work today.
