🧨🪣 Fireworks Safety Starts with a Bucket! 🪣🧨

At this year's Police & Fire Community Partnership Day, Butler County Fire District #3 handed out 30 Bucket Brigade buckets as part of a statewide fire prevention effort in partnership with the American Pyrotechnics Safety & Education Foundation and the Kansas State Fire Marshal Office.

Many fireworks that appear to be out can remain hot enough to start fires hours later. The Bucket Brigade program encourages residents to place used fireworks in a bucket of water and let them soak overnight before disposal.

A simple bucket and a little water can help prevent fires in trash cans, garages, and around homes after the Fourth of July.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and picked up a bucket. Have fun, celebrate responsibly, and help us keep our community safe this Independence Day! 🇺🇸🚒

What a great day at the Rose Hill Police & Fire Community Partnership Day yesterday at Shorty Cox Park!

We enjoyed spending time with members of our community, meeting new faces, and connecting with the families we proudly serve. Events like this help strengthen the partnership between our citizens, police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other community organizations.

Thank you to everyone who came out to visit, ask questions, explore the equipment, and enjoy the activities. We appreciate the opportunity to serve such a supportive community.

A special thank you to all of the volunteers, sponsors, and organizers who helped make the event a success. We are already looking forward to next year!

Today, Butler County Fire District # 3 was honored to fly Old Glory in support of the National EMS Memorial Service’s Moving Honors procession as it made a stop in Andover on its journey to Arlington, Virginia.

The Moving Honors procession honors EMS professionals who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty and ensures their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.

This stop held special meaning for our community as we continue to remember Butler County Paramedic Justin Lauppe, who died in the line of duty last year. Today, we proudly joined others in honoring Justin and all fallen EMS providers who dedicated their lives to serving others.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or the start of summer — it is a day of remembrance for those who never made it home. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty will never be forgotten.

As we spend time with family and friends today, please take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who gave everything for our nation.

From all of us at Butler County Fire District #3, we remember and honor our fallen heroes. 🇺🇸
