🎉 HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY TO SARAH! 🎂
If you’ve ever liked, shared, or read a post on our page, you have Sarah Fraley (or as many know her, Grace or **Gracie) to thank!

Yesterday’s severe weather kept us busy standing by to keep the community safe, so this post is coming a day late—but as the saying goes, sometimes the best things come a little later! 😉

Sarah’s roots run deep here at Stanton Fire. She started her journey with us as a Junior Firefighter and officially became a full active member the very day she turned 18. Today, she serves as our Public Information Officer (PIO), managing all of our social media while remaining a dedicated active responder.

In addition to her work with SFD, she also serves our community as a member of Powell County Search & Rescue.

Sarah possesses a true heart of gold and an unmatched passion for helping others.

When she’s not doing something with Stanton Fire, you can usually find her hiking, traveling, or spending quality time with the people who matter most to her. 🌲✈️

Thank you, Sarah, for your countless hours, your unwavering commitment to our department, and your service to the citizens and visitors of Stanton and Powell County. We are so grateful for everything you do!

Please join us in wishing Sarah a very Happy Birthday in the comments below! 👇❤️🚒

⚠️⚠️SEVERE WEATHER ALERT — TUESDAY ⚠️⚠️

A dangerous round of severe storms is expected Tuesday, with destructive winds up to 80 mph, large hail, and isolated tornadoes possible. Heavy rain may also trigger flash flooding in low‑lying areas.

What you should do:

• Have multiple ways to get warnings on your phone
• Secure outdoor items before storms arrive
• Know where your safe shelter is
• Move to higher ground if flooding develops
• Never drive through floodwater, it’s not worth the risk

Our department will be monitoring conditions closely and is ready to respond. Stay weather aware and be prepared to act quickly.

Wishing LT. Jason Randall a very happy birthday from all of us at Stanton Fire.

Jason has spent his life serving others, fighting fire since 1993, assisting in knee and hip replacement surgeries since 2006, working as an EMT since 2011, and serving our country in the military. He’s the kind of person who shows up, puts in the work, and makes the people around him better.

You lead with steadiness. You show up with purpose. And you care in a way that makes your team stronger, safer, and proud to stand beside you. Lt. Randall, your service is more than duty. It’s heart. It’s character. It’s the kind of commitment that inspires others to rise to the occasion.

Off duty, Jason keeps things simple. He enjoys taking care of his lawn, relaxing with his cat Althea, and settling into his recliner after a long shift. It’s the balance that keeps him steady.

Happy Birthday, LT. We appreciate everything you do for this department and this community.
