May was a big month for one of our cadets!

After graduating from high school, passing the NREMT EMT-B exam, and completing the final physical requirements to transition from cadet to firefighter, Firefighter Murphy has achieved some incredible milestones.

We are proud of the hard work, dedication, and commitment Firefighter Murphy has shown throughout this journey. Thank you to his family for allowing Firefighter Murphy to become of our family at Limestone.

Congratulations on these accomplishments, we can’t wait to see all that he achieves in the future!

Tonight, the Limestone Firefighters Association proudly presented a check to Deputy Jack Evans. The Association collected donations and contributed the full amount to Deputy Evans and his family in support during this time.

As a department, we work closely alongside the Peoria County Sheriff’s Office and deeply respect the dedication and service they provide to our community each and every day.

We wish Deputy Evans a swift and complete recovery.
