Crusade for Children

6 days ago

On Saturday May 8, Zoneton firefighters and members of the American Red Cross Louisville Chapter conducted a “Sound the Alarm” event at the Preston Mobile Home Park in northern Bullitt County. More than 80 households were contacted to provide doorstep fire safety advice, including forming a home fire escape plan. Some 87 smoke detectors were installed and tested during Saturday’s sweep.

The “Sound the Alarm” program was launched by the American Red Cross in 2014 in an effort to reduce home fire deaths. Some seven people needlessly die every day in home fires across the United States, most often without working smoke detectors. Since its inception, partnering the Red Cross with local fire departments, more than 2.1 free smoke detectors have been installed in homes.

Friday was work on the landscape day. We are clearing out some space near the flag poles where we hope to add a nice memorial to our fallen comrades. That's in the earliest of the planning stages and we hope to share more in the near future.

(If anyone is curious, Zoneton members were early "stickees" of COVID vaccine - way back in December.) ... See MoreSee Less

Zoneton Fire Protection District

Crusade for Children is getting closer by the day! We want to share some plans with you.

Roadblock Collections:
Roadblocks are tentatively planned for Memorial Day weekend. Once we nail down dates, times and locations, we will post them.

Neighborhood Collections:
Due to the current COVID 19, we will collect in neighborhoods as we did last year. Go down streets and make a lot of noise. Residents who wish to make donations are asked to meet us outside. That’s to keep contact brier and outdoors. (Please note COVID guidance is evolving and we will adapt to latest.)

So as to give folks an idea of when we will be in a given area, the images below show a list of all streets in our area and the day we plan to collect.

A couple of notes: This year is a very special year as we are dedicating it to Chief Orkies and Major Key. Okolona is allowing us to collect in parts of their district which hopefully will increase Zoneton’s total. So if you see “OFD” in the Crusade Street column, that is a street in the Okolona Fire District, but will be collected by Zoneton. Thanks to OFD!

There are some streets shown as “Service Vehicle”. These are narrow/difficult access streets. We will send workers out in service vehicles to collect them. Unfortunately we can’t nail down specific dates for those.

As you might guess, streets with “N” are streets we won’t collect.

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday our team will gather around 5:30 to get assigned to trucks. So we won’t be in neighborhoods until 6:00 PM (or later). We will try to finish up by 9:00 each evening.

On Saturday we will try to get started around 10:00 AM and go until 9:00 PM. We are leaving Sunday open to catch-up on streets we miss or don’t get to. There are many things that can wreck our plans, so we have alternatives planned.

Please note we have posted other methods for donating if that is your desire.

We will update you with more information as time goes along.

Please remember, this is a special year as we honor Chief Orkies and Major Key. Please help us to make a lasting memory for these two dedicated public servants and long-time Crusade Volunteers! Chief Orkies was always there working the grille and Major Key in the radio room coordinating.

Zoneton Residents: Please share this to help get the word out - Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

Crusade for many has been a big part of theirs and their families lives. So true with mine and these incredible leaders I called friends. Guys we know you got Jesse with you ready to watch over us all. Let’s all donate the best way we can to honor them one more time. Thanks

What’s this for?

Forgive me if I've overlooked it, but is there a way to donate like a Venmo or something? My address says TBD and I don't want to miss you!

See y’all then, with my donation! Thanks! In advance! 👌👍🙉🐵🙊🙈❤️

I cannot believe they are no longer with us. They are collecting that money in Heaven! ❤

Miss that dude ❤️

They are missed

????
