The Meaning Behind the Climb

It’s not just a stair climb. It’s a tribute.

On September 10, we will gather at The Ballpark to climb in honor of the 343 firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, 37 Port Authority officers, and countless others whose lives were forever changed on September 11, 2001.

We climb to remember their courage.
We climb to honor their sacrifice.
We climb so their stories are never forgotten.

Join us for the 4th Annual Patriots Day Stair Climb.

This afternoon, multiple Jackson Fire Department crews responded to a reported brush fire. Crews quickly located the fire and worked to contain and extinguish the flames before they could spread further. Madison County Fire Rescue assisted with extinguishing the fire and supplied additional water with a tanker to support firefighting operations. Crews remained on scene to mop up hot spots and ensure the area was fully extinguished.

With dry conditions and changing weather, brush fires can spread rapidly and threaten nearby homes, structures, and surrounding property.

This incident is a strong reminder of the importance of fire prevention and preparedness:

• Never burn on windy or excessively dry days
• Keep leaves, grass, and other combustible materials cleared away from structures
• Maintain a defensible space around your home and outbuildings
• Never leave an outdoor fire unattended
• Always completely extinguish a fire before leaving the area

A small fire can become a large fire in a matter of minutes. Stay aware, stay prepared, and help prevent the next one.

💙 STRONG FAMILIES. STRONG FIRST RESPONDERS. ❤️

The job doesn’t stay at work. The challenges, stress, and experiences of being a first responder can impact the whole family—and that’s why we’re bringing you Thriving at Home: A First Responder Couples Workshop.

This workshop is designed specifically for first responders and their spouses/significant others and provides practical tools to strengthen communication, navigate the unique stresses of the job, and build a stronger relationship—together.

👮‍♂️ Police | 🚒 Fire
❤️ First Responders + Their Spouses/Significant Others

This is a private workshop exclusively for first responder families—not a public event.

Seats are limited, so eligible couples are encouraged to reserve their spot early.

Because behind every strong first responder is a strong family. ❤️

🔥🚒 The Mini Firefighter Challenge was a HUGE hit! 🚒🔥

More than 200 kids accepted the challenge, and they absolutely crushed it! 💪👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

It was an incredible day filled with smiles, competition, teamwork, and a whole lot of fun. We loved seeing so many kids take on the challenge and get a little taste of what it’s like to be a firefighter!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this possible and to all the kids who came out and gave it their best!

Now, please excuse our CRR staff… they need a nap. 😂😴🚒

Apparently, chasing 200+ future firefighters is harder than it looks!
