Still looking for a way to give a little this holiday season? Why not share the warmth with our local children?!
We have two more weeks of collecting coats. Please see the flyer for drop off locations. 🧥🧥🧥~Give the Gift of Warmth~
Newport Firefighters are challenging YOU, our surrounding community members to help keep the children warm. We are looking for NEW coats for children ages 5 to 14. These coats will be distributed to the children in Newport Primary School and Newport Intermediate School on December 1st. Over 50% of the children attending these schools, walk to and from school each day.
Local 45 will match the first 50 coats donated to our drop off locations. Please have all coat donations dropped off by November 30th to one of the locations on the flyer (Newport Fire Department, South Newport Fire Station, and Wooden Cask Brewing Company)
NO CHILD SHOULD BE COLD FOR THE WINTER 🧥🧥🧥🚒🚑👨🚒
*if you drop off at Wooden Cask, stay for a beer (or two). Wooden Cask created a charitable craft beer for Newport Firefighters called "Local 45". $1 of every Local 45 craft beer sold goes towards our Community Outreach Programs.
~Happy Veterans Day~
Veterans Day is a day to honor our military veterans for their service to this country. It is a day to salute and thank these extraordinary men and women for the sacrifices they made for our great nation. 🇺🇸
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. ~ Elmer Davis
Crew 2 was honored to have Retired Engineer Gary Schoepf (1965-1988) cook us chili on Chili Saturday. Gary was blown away that he was cooking in the same pot he used in 1965. We also had the honor and pleasure to have Retired Assistant Chief "Dutch" Hehman (1964-1987) join us. Over chili, they told us many great stories and we had a ton of good laughs. We thoroughly enjoy having our retired members visit us on duty.
And I’m sure they enjoyed being back with you guys too! I know, both Gary and Dutch, and they are really good people!
Two good men I had the pleasure of working with!
Newport Brothers
Worked with both those guys, would have loved to see them!
Still cooking good Gary, I’m sure it was nice, you and Dutch back in the old house😉. Did you make extra for Santini? Take care guys.🙏
They are both fine men. I remember them from when I was growing up in Newport.
That's awesome.. Enjoy.
What really surprised Engineer Gary is that pot hadn't been cleaned since 1968. The firemen just kept adding more meat & beans.
Sounds like a great time with friends 👍
