Friends of TFS Volunteer Fire Department Inc

Replaced worn out floor mats and purchased mats for change areas that didnt have any in both fire stations. This prevented the guys from having to stand on cold wet concrete floors when changing into gear and back into civilian clothes. We bought 11 mats. This made a safer and more comfortable situation for our volunteers that are responding in snow and rain everytime theres a fire or traffic accident.

Appreciation banquet. We held the first every appreciation banquet for the trego fortine stryker volunteer fire department. This included dinner entertainment recognition and awards for the entire department. The chief said morale has never been as high as after that. It fulfills our intent to foster longevity for our firefighters. We included all firefighters their families and board members. Approximately 70 attended. Our theme was "a night to remember" in which we remembered fire fighting in america back to very beginning the history of tfs fire department and creating memories they will continue to remember well into the future.
