HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Tonight was our annual Drive-thru Trunk or Treat, and it was a huge success! The weather was perfect! We had lots of decorated cars with smiling faces giving out candy, lots of cars coming through with awesome costumes, and lots and lots of fun and laughs!

We counted 187 cars and at least 400+ kids (big and small😉) and over 600 people total!

Thank you to everyone that helped set up, hand out candy and tear down. But most of all, a HUGE thank you to everyone that came through tonight! We new traffic was crazy and the line was long, but we sincerely hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!!!

Until next year… 🎃👻💀🚒

We would like to give our thanks to Westview-Fairforest Fire Department for providing coverage for our district tonight so we are able to attend the receiving of friends for Tommie. Thank you to North Spartanburg Fire Department for providing coverage tomorrow for the funeral. We greatly appreciate the support.

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to one of our own.

It is with profound sadness that the Una Fire Department announces the passing of one of our own, Firefighter Tommie Dorsey.

Today, we mourn not only the loss of a firefighter, but the loss of a brother, a friend, and a valued member of our Una Fire Department family.

Tommie answered the call to serve his community and stood alongside his brothers and sisters whenever duty called. His dedication, friendship, and service will forever be a part of the Una Fire Department family.

There are no words that can truly express the emptiness left behind when we lose one of our own. We are grateful for the time we were blessed to have Tommie as part of our department, and we will carry his memory with us each time we answer the call.

Please keep Tommie’s family, friends, and his Una Fire Department family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Brother Tommie.
You answered your final call.
We’ll take it from here. 🖤🚒

🏠 FIRE SAFETY STARTS AT HOME! 🏠

If a fire happened tonight, would everyone in your household know what to do?

Every family should:
✅ Know two ways out of each room when possible.
✅ Choose a safe meeting place outside.
✅ Practice your escape plan together.
✅ Know to call 911 once safely outside.

Remember: Get out, stay out, and never go back inside for belongings or pets.

Take a few minutes this week to make a plan with your family. It could make all the difference! ❤️🚒

🔥👨🏻‍🚒MEET YOUR CHIEF👨🏻‍🚒🔥

Let's meet your fire chief, Jeffrey Hadden!

Jeff joined the fire department in 1982. His father, Robert "Buddy" Hadden, was a fireman and like most kids, he wanted to be just like him! Jeff became an interior firefighter in 1984 and became paid in 1991. Gaining experience and knowledge from the firemen before him, Jeff eventually became chief of the Una Fire Department in 2005. His love and dedication for our community shines through him and the work he does. We are so thankful to have a fire chief like him!

🚒❤️ A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FROM
OUR FIRE CHIEF ❤️🚒

As I look back over the years, I realize that I would not be the firefighter or the Chief I am today without the many people who have been a part of my journey.

First, I want to thank the Chiefs and members who came before me. Thank you for taking the time to teach me, train me, challenge me, and believe in me. Every lesson, every correction, every late-night call, and every experience helped shape me into the firefighter and Chief I am today. I am forever grateful for the knowledge and wisdom you passed down to me, and I hope to continue that tradition by passing it on to those who come after me.

To our community, thank you for believing in and supporting our fire department throughout the years. Your encouragement, kindness, prayers, and continued support mean more than you will ever know. It is an honor to serve this community, and I hope we can continue to earn your trust and support for many years to come.

To my family, thank you for always understanding and supporting me, even when the fire service meant I missed family events, holidays, dinners, birthdays, and countless other moments. You never stood in the way of me doing what I love. Instead, you stood beside me through it all. You have supported the long nights, the interrupted plans, the sleepless nights, and the calls that took me away from home. I could not have done this without you, and I love and appreciate each of you more than words can say.

And lastly, I want to thank my Daddy. ❤️

For many years, you were my sidekick, my best friend, and my mentor. You taught me so much about the fire service, but more importantly, you taught me about life. I have never forgotten, and never will forget, the life lessons you taught me and the tough love you showed me along the way.

You pushed me when I needed pushing. You corrected me when I needed correcting. You challenged me to be better, to work harder, and to never forget what it truly means to serve others.

So much of who I am today is because of you.

There are lessons you taught me that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and every time I put on my gear, answer a call, or stand beside the men and women of this department, a part of you is there with me.

Thank you, Daddy, for helping make me the firefighter and Chief I am today. I hope I have made you proud.

To everyone who has been a part of this journey, past and present, thank you. I am humbled, grateful, and proud to serve.

Once a firefighter, always a firefighter. ❤️🚒
