Today we remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day.
C shift had a unique visit today from a fellow firefighter from New Orleans. Matt Carter is in town for the race this weekend and every year he chooses to do a crawl fish boil for one local fire house. Thank you for the experience.
Buck Creek Township Fire Department would like to extend our condolences to Farmland Volunteer Fire Department which suffered a line of duty death yesterday morning while responding to an emergency. Another firefighter was severely injured in the same accident. ![]()
