We’re excited to welcome a few new members to our Fire Department this year! Please join us in giving a big welcome to Merritt, Caleb, and Zeb! We’re grateful to have you on the team and appreciate your willingness to serve our community. 👨‍🚒

We also want to give a huge congratulations to Tristin on passing his EMT certification, and to Dakota (not pictured) on earning his Paramedic certification! 🎉👏

These accomplishments take a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment, and we couldn’t be prouder of you both!

A huge THANK YOU to all five of these individuals for stepping up, giving their time, and being willing to serve and protect our community. We’re lucky to have you! 🚒

🚒 THANK YOU, PRAIRIE MEADOWS! 🚑

We are incredibly grateful to the Prairie Meadows Board of Directors for approving a Community Betterment Grant of $5,654.96 for the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department to purchase a new Stair Chair!

This equipment will be an important addition to our department and will help our firefighters and EMS personnel safely and efficiently move patients down stairs and out of difficult-to-access areas during emergencies. It will improve both patient and responder safety and allow us to better serve the Monroe community and surrounding areas.

A huge THANK YOU to Prairie Meadows for investing in our local volunteer fire departments and supporting the safety of our community! Your generosity makes a real difference. 🚑

We are proud to serve our community and grateful for organizations like Prairie Meadows that help us continue to improve the equipment and services we provide.

Thank you, Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack & Hotel!
