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. Perry Township residents, you can be proud to know that your fire department is working hard to protect our community while encouraging positive change in the fire service across the country. (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.)

The amount of all the extra volunteers from the public that came to help was truly breathtaking. All of us worked side by side and did everything we could. Huge thank you!

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. 👨🚒 🚒 🚑

Water Rescue Team Swim Test – Success!Last night, members of our Water Rescue Team took to the pool for their annual swim test—and they crushed it! From endurance laps to rescue techniques, everyone gave it their all. This test is more than just swimming; it’s about making sure our team is ready to respond when seconds count and lives are on the line.Big thanks to our instructors, supporters, and every member who showed up and put in the work. Whether it was 2 feet or 12 feet deep, the dedication ran even deeper.Tonight, they return to the water for boat operations training with our good neighbors at the Marrs Township Volunteer Fire Department. #PerryFire #WaterRescue #ProudToServe
