The Carmel Fire Auxiliary successfully hosted its annual Sip and Shop event in November, raising $2,425 in support of the Carmel Fire Buffs. Designed to bring the community together, the event celebrated and supported local vendors while also generating vital funds and increasing public awareness for the Carmel Fire Buffs and their mission.

The Carmel Fire Department recognizes that firefighting is an inherently dangerous profession. Along with the immediate hazards of our work, firefighters face significant long-term risks — including an increased likelihood of cancer due to occupational exposures.

Despite these risks, our members continue to serve with pride and dedication. With that said, one of own is in a tough battle. We stand with him and his family and are reminded once again of the strength, courage, and sacrifice that define this profession.

The Yard Foundation is currently hosting a fundraiser for Chris, and with several people asking we wanted to share it here! Thanks to the Yard Foundation for your help!

Well, a little set back today. Driving Eng 1 and she started making a terrible noise. Further inspection we found couple bearings had failed in transfer case. "Put it on - Take it off". Now waiting on parts
