Last night marked a major milestone for four of our members as they officially became Certified Volunteer Firefighters!

To recognize this achievement, Lt. Scott Watson presented each firefighter with their new helmet leather. Throughout training, firefighter trainees wear helmets marked with orange. This new helmet leather is symbol of their hard work and dedication.

We are proud to recognize:

🔥 FF Tanner Gravitt
🔥 FF JW Hurley
🔥 FF Amber Meinhardt
🔥 FF Justin Sanderson

Of course, no celebration is complete without cake, and we enjoyed taking a few moments together as a department to recognize their success.

Please join us in congratulating our newest Certified Volunteer Firefighters. Thank you for your willingness to serve our community.

Congratulations, firefighters! 🚒

Today, the members of Summerdale Volunteer Fire Department pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice is a debt that can never truly be repaid.

As flags fly and families gather, may we take a quiet moment to reflect, pray, and remember those who never made it home - and the loved ones who carry that loss every day.

From all of us at Station 40, we remember the fallen and honor their legacy with gratitude and respect. ❤️

Last night, our members had the opportunity to tour Saltgrass Ranch LLC. as part of a pre-plan walkthrough ahead of their opening. We were able to familiarize ourselves with the layout, rooms, special features, and safety systems to help us better serve the facility and our community when they officially open.

We were also glad to have several of our automatic/mutual aid departments join us for the walkthrough, including Robertsdale Fire Department, Foley Fire Department, Fish River/Marlow Fire & Rescue, and Silverhill Fire Department.

Thank you to everyone involved for taking the time to prepare together and strengthen our response efforts. We look forward to seeing Saltgrass Ranch open soon!

This National EMS Week, we proudly recognize and thank all EMS professionals for the care, compassion, and lifesaving service they provide every day. Your service does not go unnoticed, and we are grateful to stand beside you.

We also want to recognize the volunteers within our own department who are Nationally Registered EMRs, EMTs, and Paramedics. We appreciate your dedication to the volunteer fire service as well as your profession.

Thank you for answering the call, day and night, whenever help is needed most. 🚑❤️💙
