"United in service to their community and country". Great job and congratulations in being able to participate in the inaugural parade today.

Today, we celebrate the work, the legacy and the dream of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a true and forever leader! May his words continue to inspire our members to serve America with dignity and honor. "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" -Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay

MN's Longest-Tenured Volunteer FF Hangs Up His Helmet at age 72. Great story. (Not local but well worth the read!)

One hour until showtime.

Wishing all of our family, friends, fans & followers, and of course, our fine fire district residents, the Happiest of New Years. May it bring Peace & Harmony, Health & Happiness to us all. We are so grateful to start this new year with you all but remember dearly those we lost in 2020.

We here at the Pine City Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend our heartfelt and deepest condolences to the Voorhees family and to our brothers and sisters at Dept. 14 Southport, on the passing of Pete Voorhees. Pete was a Lifetime Member of the SFD and will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him. https://www.cavin-cook.com/m/obitua/Peter-Voorhees/Memories

Wishing all of our family, friends, fans and followers, and of course, our fire district residents, a very Happy Thanksgiving today. <3 We want you around for tomorrow and beyond, so today, think small. Unlike any other Thanksgiving you may have had, large celebrations are not recommended and are considered "coronavirus super spreaders". (This is not up for debate so please don't leave comments contrary to this on our post.) We are simply asking everyone to practice commo...n sense when celebrating today. If you can, stay home. If you go out, continue to wear your masks. They DO work. Wash your hands. Practice social distancing. We know you all have cabin fever and find yourself in unique circumstances compared to any other year. But it's not unique compared to your neighbor, your friends or your family members, so if you're struggling, talk about it. It's okay, to not be okay. See more

I'll NEVER forget all the heroes we lost on 9/11! #911memorial #neverforget #americanheroes #firstresponders #wemissyou

Please folks - this isn't the time to rest on our laurels about this here. You need to practice all your common sense measures like hand washing/sanitizing, coughing into your elbow, cleaning frequently used and/or touched surfaces, MASK WEARING and SOCIAL DISTANCING. As you can see, while our county numbers were pretty decent for a while, It just took one, or two events to turn things around again, for the bad. Remain vigilant to keep yourself and others safe.
