If someone reaches out, listen.

Not every emergency comes through a radio.

Some arrive as a text.

A phone call.

A quiet conversation.

You don’t know if they spent days, weeks,
or even months working up the courage
to reach out.

And sometimes the person asking for help
doesn’t need advice.

They just need someone to care.

🚒💰 DO YOU KNOW THE COST OF A MODERN FIRE TRUCK 💰🚒

When you see a fire truck responding to an emergency, you're looking at one of the most important investments a community can make.

Many people are surprised to learn that a modern, fully equipped fire engine can cost $1 million or more, depending on the apparatus and equipment carried onboard.

Fire trucks are more than vehicles—they are mobile lifesaving platforms designed to protect firefighters and serve the community when seconds matter most.

The next time you see a fire engine rolling down the street, remember that it represents years of planning, fundraising, grants, taxpayer support, and a commitment to keeping our communities safe.

🚒 Investing in fire service today means saving lives tomorrow.

Fire and EMS services are not cheap to run. The cost of everything is rising, including essential equipment, buildings and supplies. Support your local volunteers, your life may depend on them one day.

🚑💰 Do you know the Real Cost of a Modern Ambulance 💰🚑

Have you ever wondered why ambulance services and fire departments are constantly applying for grants, holding fundraisers, and asking for community support?

A modern, fully equipped ambulance can cost over $565,000 before it ever responds to its first emergency call.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of our Fire Chief, Brent Collins, who was killed in a car accident last night.

If you lived around here, chances are you knew Brent, or he'd helped you out at some point. He was a veteran who never stopped serving, whether it was answering a call in the middle of the night or just lending a hand to a neighbor who needed one. That was Brent, always showing up. When he wasn't looking out for the rest of us, you'd find him out deer hunting or fishing, doing what he loved most.

Brent leaves behind a family who loved him dearly, and a whole community that did too. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Please give them the time and space they need to grieve, and respect their privacy as they do.

Service details will be shared once they are available.

Chief, thank you for your service to our country and our community. You will be deeply missed.
