🚒 A Very Special Day for Willow Springs

Today was an incredibly proud day for the Willow Springs Fire Department and our community.

I had the honor of nominating Jennifer Martin for the Missouri Public Safety Civilian Partnership Award, recognizing her courageous actions when a young boy fell through the ice on a frozen pond.

Today, Jennifer’s award was announced by Missouri Public Safety Director Mark James and presented by Governor Mike Kehoe during the Missouri Public Safety Awards ceremony in Jefferson City. Jennifer was one of only two civilians in Missouri recognized with the Public Safety Civilian Partnership Award this year.

When the young boy fell through the ice, Jennifer immediately went to his aid while her son made the 911 call, getting emergency responders on the way. Jennifer put herself in a dangerous situation to reach the child and bring him to safety, while her son made the critical call for help.

It was especially meaningful to have Jennifer’s family there to share this special moment with her, as well as the young boy she rescued and his dad. Seeing them all together today was a wonderful reminder of just how important Jennifer’s actions were that day.

It was an honor for me, personally, and for the entire Willow Springs Fire Department to see Jennifer receive this recognition. I am proud that our department was able to nominate her and tell her story to the State of Missouri.

Jennifer, congratulations. You earned this recognition, and our community is incredibly proud of you.

And to Jennifer’s son: thank you for making that 911 call. You were an important part of this rescue, too.

Most importantly, it was wonderful to see the little boy Jennifer rescued standing there today with his dad. That is the part of this story that matters most—he is here, he is safe, and Jennifer played a tremendous role in making sure he got home.

Willow Springs is proud of you, Jennifer! ❤️💙🚒

Looking for a local sawmill or craftsman to help the Willow Springs Fire Department! 🪵🚒
We are upgrading our rescue equipment and need some assistance creating hardwood cribbing blocks. These blocks are critical safety tools used to stabilize vehicles during auto and heavy truck extrication to ensure a safe workspace for our firefighters and victims.
We can possibly provide the logs, but we need someone with a sawmill who can cut them to spec and help us transport the logs to your mill.
Because of the immense weight these blocks must support, the wood must be a hardwood (like oak, ash or hickory).
Here is what we are in need of cut:
Car Stabilization: 4" x 4" x 18" (Qty: 72)
Semi-Truck Stabilization: 4" x 6" x 24" (Qty: 64)
Filler Blocks: 2" x 4" x 18" (Qty: 36)
If you have a sawmill, the ability to haul logs, and want to help support your local emergency crews, please send us a direct message on the Willow Springs Fire Department page or stop by the station!
Please share this post to help us find a partner!
Thank you for helping us stay ready to protect our community.

Attention Willow Springs Community!
🚨🚒We need to talk about the weather, and it’s not good news for fire safety. As you've probably noticed, we are experiencing a severe lack of rain in our area. ☀️🍂The ground is bone-dry, and with humidity levels dropping rapidly, the risk of accidental fires is extremely high right now.
📉🔥Please help us keep Willow Springs safe by following these urgent precautions:
🚫 Postpone Burning: Avoid any outdoor burning, including brush piles, campfires, or burn barrels. A single spark can travel and ignite a fire instantly.
🚜 Use Caution Mowing: Dry grass can easily ignite from a spark caused by lawnmower blades striking a rock. Try to mow during the coolest, most humid part of the day, and keep a water source nearby.
🚬 Dispose of Ci******es Properly: Never throw cigarette butts out of car windows or onto the ground. Use deep, sturdy ashtrays.
⛓️ Check Tow Chains: If you are hauling a trailer, ensure chains are not dragging on the pavement and creating sparks.
While you are helping us prevent fires, don't forget to take care of yourselves!
🥤 Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.🏡 Stay Cool: Take frequent breaks in the shade or AC if you must work outdoors.
🐾 Protect Pets: Ensure your animals have plenty of fresh water and shade.Thank you for doing your part to protect our town and your neighbors. Stay cool, stay vigilant, and stay safe! 👋❤️
