INTERNATIONAL FIREFIGHTER DAY

Today we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of firefighters everywhere.

On this International Firefighters’ Day, we recognize the men and women who run toward danger when others are running away—protecting lives, property, and our community without hesitation.

From early morning calls to late-night alarms, your commitment does not go unnoticed. You stand ready in the toughest conditions, guided by duty, teamwork, and heart.

Thank you to our crews and those we working with us!

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.

Most often, when departments come together, it’s during moments of crisis, when help is needed the most.

Moments like this remind us that we are more than agencies… we are family.

Limestone Fire Department would like to thank Illinois American Water for their support through grant funding that allows us to purchase new high-visibility traffic safety vests. These upgrades ensure our firefighters remain compliant with roadway safety standards and highly visible while operating on emergency scenes.

We truly appreciate community partners who invest in the safety of first responders and the community we serve.
