A very huge/large thank you to Jennifer Gilpin and all our friends at Mission Barbeque for bringing lunch to Zoneton fire today. No special event, just to be kind and say “thanks!”

Mission Barbeque is a large restaurant chain with locations all over the East and Midwest. They have adopted a special “mission” to be there for those who serve (first responders and military). Whenever there has been the loss of a responder, Mission is there to show their support with food.

We cannot begin to say how much we appreciate them being there for us during our difficult times as well as donating items for fund raising events.

So if you are wondering where to go for lunch or dinner, please consider supporting those who support us (not to mention some extra good food) - mission-bbq.com/

At Tuesday’s board of trustees meeting (that’s the governing body), we recognized out-going Trustee George Roederer for his 12 years of service to Zoneton fire.

Many significant accomplishments were made during those years.

A very big thank you to Mr. Roederer for all your service! ...

Even though it is early August, we are getting ready for Halloween!

2022 will be a repeat of past two year - we will be visiting neighborhoods and passing out bags of treats to the little ones.

Again, we welcome and ask for, the public’s help. If you would like to drop bags of candy off at our fire station 5328 North Preston Highway (near Little Flock Church), we would be most appreciative!

We are reaching out a little early because some news reports indicate Halloween candy may be in short supply this year.

Businesses, civic organizations, community groups and churches who would like to sponsor this major event with a financial contribution are invited to contact Deputy Chief Tracey Key at 955-8076 extension 107. You can also contact us at socialmedia@zonetonfire.com. (This address is not monitored full time, so a response won’t be immediate.)

Halloween is one of our more special events each year. Over the 20+ years we have been celebrating Halloween, we have seen tens of thousands of children with the neatest of costumes and biggest of smiles, which is so heartwarming to us.

Sometime around October 1st, we will publish a schedule with the dates and list of streets. ...

Love this!! Good ole portable pond and drafting training. I needed these so bad at Baghdad Iraq FD in 2003 and 2004. Unfortunately, this was not available. Hydrants were an absolute joke, plus they were under ground. We did find an EWS that we could drat from to keep 10,000 gallon water tankers full. The hole was actually was made from a bomb. The water was so clean and pure it was potable. One night during a huge fire at Baghdad Air Port we drafted 1/4 of a million gallons to supply tankers. Not at one moment did we lose water flow on the fire scene nor did the hole even drop an inch in depth. To this day I don’t know what supplied that hole. All I do know is drafting and rapid water supply is EXTREMELY important training!

Awesome job!!❤️
