Fruitland Area Fire Protection District held a badge pinning ceremony to celebrate their first three full-time captains in department history. The fire department had been a volunteer department since 1977 and in April of 2017 voters approved the district to go to a combination District. Since then we have slowly secured staffing and in July 2021 the department promoted Collin Cummings, Tyler Brugger and Ben Whited to the rank of captain.
Fruitland Area Fire Protection District recently donated $10,001.44 to Midwest Children’s Burn Camp. We usually donate to the burn camp every year with a boot drive but with Covid last year we were unable to do so. We were unsure how well a boot drive would go over this year with covid still lingering around but our community blew us away with their generosity. In just 2 days we raised over $10,000. 100% of the profit goes towards sending children who have been burned in a fire to the camp to meet other children who are going through the same struggles.
