Improvements around the station









We knew we had people from other fire departments coming for the CPR classes. We wanted to make sure our station looked good so we cleaned and painted the bathrooms. Bob, our resident cook made all the firefighters breakfast the morning of the CPR class. Thanks Velida and Jen for painting. Thanks to Bob and Velida for breakfast!

Training Day









We do a lot of training each month so that when you need us, we are ready. These pictures were taken during one such training day.

More Tornado Pictures


















Most of our firefighters were stationed in the commercial district of Prattville. Our assistant chief was doing search and rescue through the homes that were hit so hard. The pictures provided here are ones that other people took and gave to us. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families and businesses affected by this terrible event.

Prattville tornados

























We were called out to assist with clean up and search and rescue after the devastating tornados hit Prattville this month. The damage we witnessed was awful. We were honored to take a small part in helping to make a very bad situation a little easier for the people of Prattville. These pictures were taken from one of the trucks and some on the ground upon arriving at the scene.

CPR training




































We want to say a huge thank you to Mike Whaley from Prattville Fire Department for doing our training. The training was made possible by Denise Louthain in Dothan so we want to thank her also. We were happy to have Old Kingston Vol. Fire Deptartment join us for this training.

Taking advantage of a warm February day.








Your fire department has 7 trucks to serve this community. We try hard to keep them looking nice and make sure they are well maintained. It was a gorgeous February day so we decided to wash all the trucks. If you ever see us out working like this, please stop by and say hello. We promise not to put you to work. LOL

Pictures of the community enjoying the Fall Festival


























































Everyone seemed to truly have a wonderful time. The community filled up on hot dogs, cotton candy, and popcorn. There were lots of games including a bean bag toss, bucket whiffle throw, fishing for prizes, miniture golf, and bobbing fore apples. Both the cake walk and the big jump stations outside were a huge hit.

More pictures from Fall Festival
















Here are some more pictures of the fire fighters and their families who hosted this year's Fall Festival.










Fall Festival































It was the privilege of the fire fighters and their families to host another yearly fall festival. Our department wants the community to know we care about them. We had a lot of fun this year and everyone seemed to have a great time. The fire department provided food, games, and entertainment at no cost to the community. We hope you enjoy these pictures of the fire fighters and their families who hosted this event.
