🔥 Honoring Our Heroes & Celebrating New Milestones! 🚒✨

At yesterdays Grapevine Rotary Club luncheon, we had the privilege of highlighting the incredible men and women of the Grapevine Fire Department! Led by Fire Chief Darrell Brown, this dedicated team works tirelessly around the clock to protect life, prevent harm, and preserve our community.

During today’s Grapevine Firefighters Fashion Show, they gave us an eye-opening look at just how expensive top-tier firefighting and emergency gear really is! But through careful planning, smart budgeting, and dedication, the Grapevine Fire Department remains one of the absolute best in the business. We are so grateful for their service and everything they do to keep our families safe.

We were also honored to welcome a very special guest today—Martti Eurola from the Rotary Club of Kokkola, Finland! President Traci Hutton and Mr. Eurola carried on a wonderful Rotary tradition by exchanging club flags. 🇫🇮🇺🇸

To top off a fantastic meeting, we officially welcomed TWO new Blue Badge members to our Rotary family! 🎓🎉
👉 TJ Manor (Emergency Management)
👉 Captain Ronnie Gutierrez (Grapevine PD)

Thank you to everyone who joined us today, and a huge shoutout to our Grapevine firefighters for all that you do for our community! 🙌🚒
