BGFD Recruit Class 2027 has officially completed week one.

During their first week, recruits were introduced to the department’s chain of command, policies and procedures, and the personnel who work behind the scenes to support their success in the field.

The week concluded with the issuance of their initial personal protective equipment (PPE) as they prepare to begin SCBA Week.

One week down. The work continues.

We are grateful for programs like the Boys To Men Leadership Group Kentucky that help mentor young men, build character, develop leadership skills, and prepare them for the challenges and opportunities life brings.

This week, FF Cranor spent time with the group at Cumberland Trace Elementary sharing his personal experiences and life lessons with these young men.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of such an impactful program. We look forward to watching these young men grow into strong leaders and seeing the positive impact they will make in our community!

Our hearts were full Monday night.

The friendly competition between police and fire took a backseat to something much bigger as we came together for our Police + Fire Softball Game benefiting Runs for Reagan.

It was a night filled with community, connection, and a shared purpose that reminds us what it’s all about …showing up for one another, both on and off the field.

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the cause, and helped make the night so special!

We would like to extend an extra special thanks to Servpro of Warren County and SKY Restoration DKI for donating concessions for the evening. Our mission wouldn’t be possible without community partners like you all!
