Today, our firefighters had some very special visitors representing local congregations in the area. They prayed for the safety, comfort, and wellbeing of our department and the community as a whole. We can’t express the thanks for all those that support us and take time to think and pray for our guys and their families!

Merry Christmas to all! And a special “Merry Christmas” to all those working in Fire, Law Enforcement, EMS, Dispatch, and all other emergency services who are still manning their stations to respond when our community needs it!

Extrication training looks a little different when the subject is a fellow emergency service apparatus!

Thank you to the Newton County Ambulance District for allowing us to use a stripped/scrap ambulance for training. This training provided a scenario with tight spaces, abnormal interior obstacles, and reinforced structural elements that require an approach unique from our normal strategy!

Thank you to our friends at the First Lutheran Church for the Thanksgiving meals and Four States Dental Care for the cookie trays!

These thoughtful acts of kindness are always appreciated, but even more so on days like today, where we are away from our own families.

Thank you to the citizens who show us gratitude and thank you to all our brothers and sisters in emergency services who are at work today, providing for this community!

20 years ago, today, Neosho Fire lost one of our own. Tim Shane Hardy passed away in a line-of-duty accident on November 7th, 2005. Tim was a son, father, husband, and friend. He loved his job and worked hard to provide for our community during any time of need.

Say a prayer for Tim’s family, his brothers at NFD, and all those who choose to serve others.

It’s always a good day to help out our community! Recognition is never expected and never the goal, but it is a nice reminder that the small things matter.

We’re proud of and celebrate the accomplishments of all the guys here. And even though some of our personnel might not live here, this is still OUR community. Every member of your fire department is dedicated to protecting and serving this community each and every shift (even if that service is a little out of the ordinary).

Yesterday we had a special visitor stop by the fire station and bring the firefighters some donuts. Thank you Little Miss Newton County!
