Fairfield Hose Company VFD

A Heartfelt Thank You

On behalf of the Storicks, Hawryliw, and Fairfield Hose Company families, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who offered their love, support, prayers, and kindness during the visitation, funeral service, and procession honoring Firefighter Tyler Storicks.

The overwhelming display of respect shown by the fire service, EMS agencies, law enforcement officers, family, friends, and members of our communities was truly humbling. The countless departments and agencies that traveled from near and far to stand alongside us demonstrated the strength of the brotherhood and sisterhood that exists within public safety.

A special thank you goes to the many fire departments, EMS organizations, and police departments that participated in Tyler's funeral procession and to those who covered emergency calls and protected our communities while so many responders gathered to honor one of our own. Your willingness to step forward allowed us the opportunity to give Tyler the dignified and memorable farewell he deserved.

Without the support, dedication, and generosity of every individual and organization involved, we would not have been able to honor Tyler in such a meaningful way, nor would we have been able to ensure that emergency services remained available to those in need throughout the day.

While our hearts remain heavy with loss, we find comfort in knowing that Tyler was surrounded by a community that cared deeply for him and his family. The outpouring of compassion and respect shown during this difficult time will never be forgotten.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us celebrate Tyler's life, honor his service, and support our families during one of the most challenging times we have faced.

With sincere appreciation,

The Storicks Family
The Hawryliw Family
Fairfield Hose Company

Tyler was more than a firefighter. He was a brother, a friend, a nephew, a son, a grandson and a dedicated member of our fire service family who answered the call to serve his community with pride and compassion. His loss leaves an emptiness that words cannot fully express.

We ask the community to keep Tyler’s family, friends, and fellow firefighters in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, brother. We’ll take it from here. 🚒🖤

📅 Date: Saturday, June 6

Several weeks ago, we held our first installation event and had a great turnout throughout the community. We were able to assist several residents with installing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to help make their homes safer. We truly appreciate everyone who helped make the event a success and all of the residents who welcomed us into their homes. Here are a few photos from our previous event!

Our members will once again be going out into the community to help install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to help keep our families safe. Early detection saves lives, and we want to make sure every home has the protection it needs.

✅ Smoke detector installations
✅ Carbon monoxide detector installations
✅ Safety education for residents

If you are a Fairfield resident and are in need of detectors or would like assistance checking your current alarms, please contact us to get on the list.

Please share this post so we can reach as many residents as possible!
