Been on my mind to share for weeks but this is a touchy topic as we figure out how to have members to provide the right staffing to ensure our community is safe. So here goes.

Volunteer fire departments do not need names on a roster—they need people willing to be part of the team.

From a leadership perspective, we want you here. We want you involved, responding, training, helping around the station, and contributing to the mission of the department.

At the same time, we understand that life changes. Maybe you don’t have the time anymore. Maybe your priorities have shifted. Maybe your heart just isn’t in it like it once was. Maybe you simply need a break. We understand.

But leadership also has a responsibility to know who we can count on.

A volunteer fire department cannot function on membership numbers alone. We need members who answer the call, take care of the department, support their fellow firefighters, and are willing to give back to the community they signed up to serve. That’s what we do and do it well!

So take an honest look at your commitment.

If you want to be here—then be here. Show up. Respond. Train. Help. Participate. Be someone your department and your fellow members can count on.

And if you know you can no longer make that commitment, have the courage and respect for your department to step away. There is no shame in recognizing that this season of your life may have changed. Leaving the roster is better than occupying a position while others continually wonder whether you are going to show up.

A name on a roster doesn’t answer a call. Commitment does. But as the Chief your name means I can count on you being there!

Make the decision. Make the commitment. Then live up to it.

Show up. Serve. Support your team. Do your part.

I am very proud of my volunteer fire department. We have a great team. But like all volunteer departments we struggle with commitment. So get back in it! Get excited again and let us see what we know you can do.

Why???? Because we need You! They need you! And, It’s just that important to me!

RIP Brother's and Sisters. We will never forget

From the National Weather Service:

There will be periods of showers and thunderstorms expected Wednesday with localized rainfall totals in excess of three inches
possible across northern Illinois, which could result in significant rises and possible flooding on area streams and rivers.

Heavy rain can quickly overwhelm drainage systems, creeks, and roadways, creating dangerous flash flood conditions with little or no warning. Floodwaters may appear shallow, but the current can be powerful enough to sweep away vehicles, carry debris, and create hidden hazards beneath the surface.

If you encounter a flooded roadway, never drive through it. Turn Around, Don't Drown®. Avoid walking through floodwaters, stay away from creeks and drainage ditches, and monitor local weather alerts for changing conditions. Stay weather aware and help keep yourself, your family, and your neighbors safe.
