HUMBLY GRATEFUL. PROUDLY SERVING.
Fernleaf Highland VFD is honored to be awarded money through FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program.

An investment in our firefighters is an investment in the community we serve.

Thank you, FEMA, for helping us stay ready.

We’d like to congratulate our Fernleaf-Highland Volunteer Fire Department cadets, Tyler Mellenkamp and Macen Grooms, on successfully passing their CPAT (Candidate Physical Ability Test) this morning!

Passing the CPAT is a major milestone on the journey to becoming a firefighter. It takes determination, discipline, and countless hours of hard work to prepare for the physical and mental demands of the fire service.

We are incredibly proud of Tyler and Macen and the dedication they’ve shown throughout the academy. This is a huge accomplishment, but the journey isn’t over yet.

We wish them the very best of luck as they now begin the accelerated EMT program and work toward becoming certified Emergency Medical Technicians. We know they’ll continue to represent Fernleaf-Highland with the same determination and commitment they’ve shown so far.

Congratulations again, Tyler and Macen! Keep pushing forward—we’re proud of you both and can’t wait to have you back serving our community. 🚒💪

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out today to support our Fish Fry and Cake Auction!

We are incredibly grateful for the support from our community, the volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, everyone who donated cakes and desserts, and every single person who showed up, bid, ate, laughed, and supported our department.

Events like this remind us how blessed we are to serve such an amazing community. Your support helps us continue providing the best service possible to those we protect every day.

Thank you again for making today such a success. We truly couldn’t do it without all of you! 🚒❤️

Yesterday, several members of Fernleaf Fire Department had the opportunity to attend an ITLS (International Trauma Life Support) course hosted by Maysville Fire Department alongside our partners at Air Evac Lifeteam.

ITLS is an internationally recognized program that focuses on the rapid assessment, stabilization, and transport of trauma patients. This hands-on, scenario-based training helps first responders identify life-threatening injuries, prioritize care, and make critical decisions in those first moments when every second matters.

We are proud to recognize the following members who successfully obtained their ITLS certification:

• Jolly
• Messer
• Doyle
• Lippert
• Swearingen
• Roberts

Training like this strengthens our ability to provide the highest level of pre-hospital care to the citizens we serve. It also builds stronger teamwork and communication between fire, EMS, and air medical providers so that when critical incidents occur, we are ready to work together seamlessly.
