🌟We want to thank our past members and guests for joining us this past Saturday at our annual family picnic. It was a wonderful time of fellowship with so many people who have contributed to our success. We had even more to celebrate this year as we have paid have off our building 🎉

In 2000, we were located on Roosevelt Blvd and discussions began for a new building. Planning and design started. We worked with Dennis Molden on the land and Ricketts Construction on the design and build.

In 2002, we broke ground and we had a few members on site daily making sure construction was tight 😉

In 2003, we moved into our new/current building 🏣

We put $1, 000,000 down and financed $2,200,000🫣
Due economic down turn and covid, we had to refinance twice.

In April 2025, we paid off the note!💰

🚒 But we are not done! We signed a note for $750,000 for a new pumper, expected to be in service September 2025 and we will be putting in a bid for a new medic unit before the end of year 🚑

🚨We are proudly a Volunteer Fire Department, here to serve the Citizens of Wi******er, surrounding counties and the Wi******er Fire and Rescue Department!

Sincere thanks to all our volunteers and especially to all our Bingo players who made it possible ❤️🖤
