Last night we honored the careers of Jeff "Jdot" Frank and Tim Christner. Both were presented with a plaque for their years of service. They also decided to take turns photo bombing each other.

Thank you for your years of dedicated service to both Local 1443 and the citizens of Goshen.

Enjoy your much deserved retirement!

Shout to the Goshen VFW for hosting and Station 9 Designs for the plaques.

🏈 ONE WEEK OUT! 🏈

Football fans, this is your sign to make plans for the Goshen Firefighters Smoker! 🔥🚒

☘️ Notre Dame fans — we’ve got you covered! We’ll have plenty of TVs and viewing options so you won’t miss a second of the game.

Great food. Cold drinks. Football. Blackjack. 50/50. Good times. And, of course, a whole lot of firefighters giving you plenty of reasons to cheer — and maybe a few reasons to heckle. 😂

Why watch the game at home when you can watch it with a crowd, enjoy a great night out, and support a great charity event at the same time?

🎟️ Haven’t grabbed your tickets yet? There’s still time!

Stop by Central Fire Station or contact your favorite Goshen firefighter to get your tickets.

🏈 Come for the game. Stay for the party. Support the cause.

🔥 We’ll see you at the Goshen Smoker! 🚒
