Today, we lowered our flags to half-staff to honor Rutland-Dundee FPD Firefighter Greg Witt, who tragically passed away following a medical emergency during a departmental training exercise.

Our deepest thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to Firefighter Witt’s family, loved ones, and the entire Rutland-Dundee Fire Protection District community in northern Illinois during this painful time.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice, Firefighter Witt. We have the watch from here. 🚒🖤🔴

Harristown Firefighters trained on supplying Fire Attack Hoselines in remote areas where a Fire Engine has no access. There are several areas in our district that have limited or no access. Our 4” Supply Hose will feed a manifold while individual Attack Hoselines are attached to the manifold to begin firefighting operations.

Today, Harristown firefighters had the pleasure of visiting the students at Sangamon Valley Primary School for our annual Fire Prevention Week visit!

This year, we brought a little something extra for the kids and our friend Doc Patterson joined us with his fun puppet and magic show, giving the students an entertaining and memorable way to learn about fire safety and fire prevention.

We believe some of the most important lessons are the ones that are learned while having fun! The kids had a great time, and we were thrilled to see so many smiles while learning how to stay safe around fire.

A big thank you to the staff and students at Sangamon Valley Primary School for having us back again this year!
