This afternoon, we were honored to receive a visit from Fr. Ken with St. John Berchman's, who took time to bless our new Engine 401 as we officially welcome it into service with Coulee Croche Fire District 4.

Moments like these are a reminder that our work is more than response and equipment — it’s service rooted in community, faith, and purpose.

We are grateful for the blessing, the support, and the opportunity to continue strengthening our ability to serve and protect our area.

🚒 Happy Mother’s Day from the Coulee Croche Firefighters Association ❤️

Today we honor the incredible moms in our community and the women behind our firefighters who give so much to help support our crew. From late nights and missed holidays to constant encouragement and sacrifice, your strength keeps our families and department going.

Thank you for everything you do for your families, your community, and our fire service family. We appreciate you more than words can say. ❤️🚒

🚨 IT’S TIME TO VOTE! 🚨
The Coulee Croche Firefighters Association needs YOUR support!
We’re competing for a SLEMCO First Responder Grant to secure a side-by-side utility vehicle — a critical piece of equipment that will help us better serve our community. This vehicle will allow our firefighters to access off-road and hard-to-reach areas for rescue and firefighting operations, where traditional apparatus simply can’t go.
It will also enhance our ability to provide emergency standby coverage at major events throughout our district and parish, including:
Louisiana Mosquito Festival
Rockin’ on The Runway
Cankton Courir De Mardi Gras
Cankton Accordion Festival
…and many more events our dedicated volunteers proudly support.
Our members put in countless volunteer hours protecting not just our community, but surrounding areas as well. This equipment would be a game-changer for safety, response, and service.
HOW TO VOTE:
• You must be a SLEMCO member

• You can only vote once
The top 5 organizations will each receive up to $10,000 in grant funding — and we need your vote to get there!
