Each year, our members and families gather to show appreciation for each other and the job that we have done in the past year. Additionally, we take time to thank our families for the time we spend away from them while responding to calls for assistance and other times where we leave them for firehouse duties. Members enjoyed a pot-luck style picnic including crabs. Children played together on a moon bounce and other games. Awards for participation were also distributed.

On Saturday, the fire company joined Klein's Shop-Rite in Jacksonville for "Partners in Caring" . The event sponsored by Shop-Rite brought the community together for a day of food, games, live music and displays for young and old alike. The event benefited local food banks and the fire company. The fire company was on display with 5 pieces of equipment as well as a table with public fire safety education materials and hand outs. A great time was had by all in attendance. The fire company returned to the store on Wednesday September 22nd to help with bagging groceries and assist folks to their cars with their purchases. The Jacksonville Volunteer Fire Co thanks Klein's Shop-Rite of Jacksonville for their support and look forward to working with them in the future.
