Annual Fish Fry 2007

We were happy to meet a lot of people in the community during our annual fish fry this past July. Prattville fire department brought out their training trailer which was a big hit. The children all enjoyed jumping in the blow up slides and getting balloon animals made by our clown. The air evacuation life team brought in their helicopter so that the community could see it. They also took some time to train the fire fighters here in Independence how to best work with them in helping to land the helicopter and assist with transports.

Independence Fire Fighter of the Year

Congratulations to Ben Absher for receiving this year's award as the Fire Fighter of the Year. Ben gives so much of this time to the Independence fire department. Everyone can count on Ben. He shows up for almost every call even if it is 3:00 in the morning. He does a lot of the training each month. Ben is a great guy and we are proud to have him as the Captain of our fire department.

End of the year Association Party

Thanks to the Association for a great night of good food and entertainment.

Prattville Christmas Parade

We were invited to participate in both the Prattville and Old Kingston Christmas Parades. Everyone had fun during the Prattville parade. We threw candy to the crowd which was a huge hit. Unfortunately the Old Kingston parade was cancelled due to weather.
