Happy Mother’s Day from the Union Township Fire Department 🌷

Today, we celebrate the incredible mothers who serve not only their families, but their community as well.

These women answer the call when others are experiencing some of the hardest moments of their lives, then return home to help with homework, comfort sick kids, cheer from the sidelines, and somehow keep everything moving forward.

To the mothers of UTFD: thank you for the sacrifices you make that so often go unseen. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, and the example you set every single day for your children and this community.

And to all mothers in our community and beyond, thank you for all that you do. Your love, strength, and sacrifice never go unnoticed.

Happy Mother’s Day 💜

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who came out and supported the Union Township Explorer Program at our very first car show.

From the incredible vehicles on display, to the vendors, to every single person who stopped by, your support meant more than you know. What started as an idea turned into a great day for our Explorers, and that’s because of this community showing up in a big way.

A special thank you to those who donated, participated, and helped spread the word. Every bit of support goes directly toward helping our Explorers learn, grow, and prepare for the future of the fire service.

We’re proud of what this program represents, and after the success of this event, we’re even more excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you for believing in these kids and in what we’re building here in Union Township.
