Last night Perry Area Fire Rescue was toned for wire down at Beard and Thornapple Dr due to the storm last night. Due to unknown time from consumers energy we put up caution tape and signs on both sides of the road to block the road. We went to check the area this morning and signs are missing and caution tape was cut. If you have the signs, know anything or saw anything please call the Perry Fire Department. We use these signs for car accidents and hazardous scenes for your protection and our firefighters. These signs are very expensive and important! Please, if you have them, return them with no questions asked! Thank you! Below is what the signs look like! Please share!

Each year, our Firefighters Association hosts an annual golf outing to raise money that goes directly back into the community we proudly serve. Our primary mission is to assist local families who have experienced devastating losses, such as house fires, helping them through some of the most difficult times in their lives.

Throughout the year, the Association also gives back in other ways, including sponsoring a local family during the Christmas season and helping fund community events such as Halloween at the fire station. Every dollar raised stays within our community and supports the people we serve.

When funds allow, the Association is also able to purchase equipment that enhances our firefighters’ ability to protect the community. One example is handheld thermal imaging cameras that have become invaluable on emergency scenes. They are used to identify hidden hot spots after fires, reducing the risk of rekindles, and to help locate victims during search and rescue operations and other low-visibility emergencies. These are tools that have already made a meaningful difference for both our firefighters and the people we serve.

We are currently seeking event sponsors, golf teams, and donations such as raffle prizes, gift cards, or promotional swag for participants. Any level of support is greatly appreciated and helps make this event a success.

If you are interested in partnering with us, we would be happy to provide additional information. Thank you for your time, consideration, and support of the Perry Area Firefighters Association and our community.

Yesterday, we were proud to welcome 3-year-old LJ Rivers home once again!

Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at just 18 months old, LJ has faced more than most do in a lifetime, and he’s done it with unbelievable strength and courage.

The kind of strength LJ has shown is exactly what Perry Fire is all about. To honor him, our crew stopped by with lights, sirens, and a special gift: a signed fire helmet with his very own custom shield. LJ is now our youngest honorary firefighter, and we’re proud to have him as part of our fire family.

We also want to recognize LJ’s incredible family, including his big sister Harper, who stood strong beside him through it all. We’re so thankful they let us be a small part of this special moment.

Welcome home, LJ! Here’s to staying healthy, happy, and in remission for good. You’ve got a whole firehouse full of friends cheering you on! ❤️🔥
