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.
