I would like to thank Santa and the Station 54 crew for bringing some Christmas cheer to our town last night. I’d also like to thank everyone for the appreciation shown last night and for all the donations to our fund drive. Our community might be small, but it is big in a very special way. We wish you a safe and Merry Christmas. - Chief Mike Edwards. #station54

343 firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice 19 years ago. We will never forget their sacrifice that day and what fellow firefighters put on the line everyday to help strangers on their worst day. #343 #neverforget #station54

Reminder Santa is in town tonight.

Tomorrow is the 19th anniversary of 9/11, in remembrance of our fallen brothers and sisters who sacrificed everything on that day, we will once again have all of the fire sirens sound in Livingston County at 8:46 am, on Friday September 11th, which is the time the first plane hit the the towers. #neverforget #station54

We will be escorting Santa around town by fire truck on Saturday December 19th starting at 6:00 PM. Please help us get word out and be on the lookout for Santa from the safety of your home or car. We hope to have our Christmas parade back in 2021. Route times are an estimate, but we will try to stay on schedule. Be safe and enjoy some holiday cheer. #station54

Be sure to stay cool and hydrated today, but also take note of some possible severe weather late this afternoon into this evening for Sunday July 19th. Be prepared, be safe. #station54

Tomorrow storms are possible and even a tornado. Greatest risk is from 2 PM to 11 PM. Be safe #station54

Rain is expected today and much needed, hopefully it will be a nice steady rain that can soak in and not gully washers. Be safe. #station54
