🚒 Honoring the Heroes Who Answer When Seconds Matter

Tonight, the Defiance City Council recognized the Defiance Fire Fighters for their lifesaving response to a serious accident involving Brad Stover of All Occasions Plus.

While preparing for the 2026 Night to Shine event, Brad fell from a lift, resulting in a critical emergency. The swift, skilled, and professional actions of the Defiance Fire Fighters ensured he received immediate and essential care when every second mattered.

We extend our deepest gratitude for their courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment to protecting our community. Their actions made a profound difference in a moment of great need.

To the Defiance Fire Fighters—thank you for being the calm in our chaos, the strength in our fear, and the reason lives are saved when it matters most on people’s darkest days.
