Firehouse Friday: Ashland Fire Department

They don’t just fight fire, they go above and beyond the call of duty every day

Ashland Fire Department can get very busy with responding to calls, doing inspections, or educating community members. There’s nothing to say what the next call will be when the bell rings, but they are prepared for everything.

Not too long away when responding to a medical call for a family en route to a funeral, the balloons the family was planning to release at the cemetery escaped the car and got stuck in a tree.

After the medical situation was addressed, the family continued to the funeral home without the balloons.  The firefighters that responded to the call brought the ladder truck back to get the balloons and give them to the family at the funeral home.

The family was very shocked and moved by this act of kindness.

A small act of kindness can go a long way. Thank you to the Ashland Fire Department for all that you do every day to keep the community safe!
