Happy National Volunteer Firefighter Day.

What does a volunteer firefighter look like?
It looks like your mailman. Your kid’s coach. The person bagging your groceries.

It looks like a spouse re-heating dinner at 11pm.
It looks like a boss covering a shift, no questions asked.
It looks like neighboring departments showing up to help, no questions asked.
On National Volunteer Firefighter Day, we’re grateful for the ripple effect. One person says “yes” to serving, and a whole community says “we’ve got you.”

Rio Fire, mutual aid partners, and every person & family behind them — we see you. We need you. We thank you. Small towns don’t survive without people like you.
Thank you.
