Chili Cook Off

Recently, the Swoap and the Burkin family both came up to the fire station to be celebrity judges in our chili cook off. Each shift submitted a recipe and the winner was going to represent the Perrysburg Firefighters in the 1st annual Perrysburg Knights of Columbus chili cook off. Every one had a great time and the winning recipe went to A shift's own resident chef Jeff Stefanelli (in the middle holding the empty pot). Unfortunately, the K of C eventually cancelled their event. We all know they cancelled because they were scared and knew Jeff was going to win anyway.

Car Wash

The Car Wash was a huge success and would like to thank everyone who supported us. Marco's, Mister Freeze, Car Brite, and all of the people who came out on that perfect day. We would also like to thank the Swoap and Burkin families for picking up the brushes and helping out. And finally, for all the firefighters who came out to volunteer for a great cause. Make sure you check out all of the photos in the slide show. And we hope to see you all next year.

Car Wash Today!

Everything is set!  It looks the weather is going to be great.  I hope everyone gets a chance to get their car washed for a great cause.  And who could resist Mr. Freeze!  Come out to Marco's on Rt 25 and let the firefighters wash everyones car in Perrysburg.  Check out a few of last years photos from our very successful car wash in the slideshow on this page.  Also, learn more about the local heros we are helping in the Profiles Blog.

Family wins day with firefighters

The Hildebrand family won a day with the firefighters at an auction for the YMCA. On Friday, April 10 they came in to spend some time with us. Owen, age 4, was having his birthday today and brought his sister, Kate, age 2, and cousin Aiden, age 3. They arrived at 10:00am and got a tour of the fire station. Then, along with moms and dads, Ben & Jen (Owen & Kate) and Mike & Sena (Aiden), went into the apparatus bay and was able to inspect the trucks. Owen, Kate and Aiden then went through Medic One, Tower One, Engine One and Squad One. After the truck inspections they went into the dayroom for cookies and milk. Once the snack was done they went behind the station to help the duty crew inspect the tower. That is when the tower was put into the air and the kids got to see it close up in action. The duty crew really enjoyed the visit and hope that they return anytime.

Car Wash

April 18th will be the date of this years Car Wash with a rain date of April 28th. We had such great weather last year, which contributed to our success, we only hope for the same this year. We also decided to help two families this year. We loved Ty Swoap so much last year we decided to help him and his family again, along with Hope Burkin and her family. You can read more about these two local heroes in our profiles Blog. Come one, Come all and help us support these families on the above date from 10-2pm in the Marco's Pizza parking lot. The car wash is free, but a donation is accepted to help out these families on going medical expenses. In addition, everyone who gives a donation will receive a Mister Freeze gift certificate.
