👮🔥 First Responders Cook-Off Fun! 🔥👮

What a perfect day to fire up the grill, enjoy some burgers and hot dogs, and spend time with our community! We had a great time at the First Responders Cook-Off, sharing some friendly competition with our friends Jeffersontown Fire & EMS

A big thank you to Kroger for helping make this event such a success—we truly appreciate your support!

While J-Town Fire may have taken the win this time, don’t worry… we’ll be back and ready for a rematch! 👨‍🚒🔥👮🚔

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit, grab a bite to eat, and spend time with our firefighters. We loved seeing you all out there and hope you had as much fun as we did!

💙🚓✨ ✨🚓💙

Recently Major Mindy Vance, along with our Sixth Division officers and members of our Special Operations Division had the honor of meeting a very special visitor! 😊

Four-year-old David Matthew Beets traveled all the way from Owensboro to Louisville for a medical procedure at Norton Children's Hospital 🏥💙. Before heading home, David had one big request—to see some police cars in person! 🚔🚨

Of course, we were happy to make that happen! 🙌

David was joined by his sister, 6-year-old Heidi, who had a special request of her own—she wanted to see our police horses! 🐴💕

Moments like these remind us how meaningful the little things can be, especially during challenging times 💙. We’re grateful we could bring a few smiles to David and Heidi during their visit 😄✨ and wish David all the best as he continues to recover. 💪❤️

Thank you for stopping by to see us—we’re cheering you on, David! 👏💙
