Valley Chemical Fireman's Carnival
in Numidia

Lots of Food, Games, Fun, Big Crowds.....and the Lucky Afternoon Band!!
 

Congratulations on your 100th year of fire fighting service!

Before all the pictures....  it's not about the band...
Below are just some of the unselfish Valley Chemical Fire Company volunteers doing their part for the community.  Some of these volunteers are fire fighters while others are good citizens volunteering their time at the carnival to help raise funds for the fire company.  The community appreciates your generosity.

A Fireman's Prayer

He stares in the face of death, without a second thought to save that one special life, that he so bravely sought

He has walked as close to "hell on earth," as any man could do and he's so proud of the job he did, for people he never knew

He puts his life on the line, every time duty calls
always doing what needs to done, without even a pause

He is a fireman with overwhelming pride
never afraid to take a chance.
When saving someone’s life often he says, "it's my job"  

But we really know that he is very special, and always ready to go

So when you hear the sirens wail, or see the flashing lights, stand aside and look with pride, he's going to save a life. 
Even though volunteer firefighters do not live and work in a firehouse like career firefighters, they carry out the same kinds of emergency response duties and non-emergency tasks.

Emergency firefighting duties are both challenging and physical. In emergency situations, volunteer firefighters should expect to extinguish and prevent fires as well as administer first aid.

Duties also include rescuing victims from cars or buildings...

...carrying fire hoses up stairs or ladders, breaking down doors, and water rescues!
   
Brush Fires
 
Routine maintenance is very important 

Volunteer firefighters usually perform all of these tasks while wearing heavy protective clothing in dangerous, smoky and hot environments.
The equipment you see isn't cheap or free.  The volunteers need your help (the community) to raise funds so they can purchase life and property saving equipment.  Support their fundraisers throughout the year.
To active duty fire fighters, rescue personnel, fire police, AND those of you who work for the carnival giving back to the community...
The Lucky Afternoon Band and the community says, "THANK YOU!!!"

Fire Police are volunteer members of a fire department who provide police services at a fire, accident or other    emergency scene, or at a non-emergency event when additional manpower is needed to supplement local police. These services may include traffic control, crowd control, scene security and other duties as needed.  Thank You for your service too!
