Tonight for the 9th straight year we once again teamed up with Tilford's Auto Repair and Towing to shop for the annual Tow Trucks for Tots event! 🚒🚚🎁

We love being part of this amazing cause each year and giving back to kids in need. This year, between the District 2 Firefighters Association, District 2 Auxiliary, and Tilford’s Towing, we were able to donate $2,500 worth of toys!

A huge thank-you to Belvidere Walmart for being so accommodating during our shopping adventure! ❤️

Chief Kunce is our former Fire Chief and will do anything to help anyone. Now is our time to give back. Please help out if you’re able to.

He spent over 43 years answering our calls. Now, Deputy Chief Brian Kunce needs us to answer his.

A pillar of the North Park Fire Protection District, Chief Kunce has dedicated his life to protecting others. He is a mentor, a leader, and a hero to so many. Now, he is in the toughest fight of his life against stage 4 cancer.

The fire service brotherhood and our entire community are rallying to support Chief Kunce and his family, helping to ease the financial burden so they can focus completely on his healing. Please consider donating to help with medical and family expenses.

Let's have his back, just like he always had ours.

Donate and share now!
