Recently, our firefighters took part in a special Zoom session with Matt Simmonds from Operational Fire in Australia, a connection we made at FDIC International this year. Matt shared powerful insights on reducing cancer risks in the fire service and helping firefighters stay safer for their families and their communities.

Afterward, our team continued the learning with training led by Retired Chief John Buckman III from German Township and our own Peer Support leader, Jessica Barr. Together, they reinforced the importance of making firefighter health and wellness a priority every day.We’re proud to share that the work happening here in Perry Township has already inspired the National Volunteer Fire Council to revise its Lavender Report, the national guide for firefighter wellness.This isn’t just training. It’s leadership that inspires others to make a difference.

(FYI, the meeting room image was missing a number of members who got a run during the training. We had an excellent turnout for the training and lots of talk since.) ... See MoreSee Less

We dedicated our morning to the summer camp at Corpus Christi. The kids got to explore the trucks, try on turnout gear, crush cans, and then try their hand at spraying water 💦! They all demonstrated great skill and we hope they will join us in the future. 👨‍🚒 🚒 🚑 ... See MoreSee Less
