We have some great news for some of our area Fire Departments

Friendship Fire Department., Eclectic Fire Department, Redland Volunteer Fire Department , and Santuck Fire Dept are proud to announce that our departments have been awarded a regional Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) totaling almost $1 million for SCBA equipment!
The new SCBA equipment will help ensure our firefighters have up to date modern respiratory protection they need when answering calls to help protect our personnel and better serve the communities.
We would like to extend our appreciation to DH Grants for the assistance with this process and to the AFG program for the award. Also thank you to our communities for the support you give our personnel.

Congratulations, Firefighter Ethan Butler!

Your successful completion of EMT‑Basic is a tremendous achievement and a proud moment for both you and the Friendship Volunteer Fire Department. This certification reflects your dedication, discipline, and commitment to serving others in their most critical moments. Stepping into the EMS field requires courage, compassion, and a willingness to learn constantly — qualities you’ve demonstrated every step of the way.

Your hard work strengthens our department and our community. We’re excited to see you bring your skills to the field and continue growing in your service to the people of Friendship and Elmore County.

Outstanding job, Ethan. Your future in emergency services is bright, and we’re proud to have you on the team.

Tonight, we partnered with several neighboring agencies for a joint live fire and water flow training exercise on Friendship Road.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all the personnel who participated, including:

City of Tallassee Fire Department
Eclectic Fire Department
Red Hill Fire Department
Emerald Mountain Fire Department

Collaborative exercises like this are vital for strengthening our mutual aid partnerships. By training together, we ensure our departments remain highly coordinated, sharp, and ready to respond effectively when our communities need us most.
