Our 2024-2025 Mission
Equipping Our Heroes
We are on a mission to outfit our volunteer firefighters with brand-new VIKING turnout gear—a trusted name in firefighter protection known for comfort, durability, and advanced safety features. This upgrade ensures our team is protected with some of the best gear in the industry, helping them perform safely and effectively on every call.
Each full set of VIKING gear costs over $6,000, including a helmet, jacket, pants, boots, gloves, and more. With 25–35 active members, the total investment is substantial. Because of the cost, we’re tackling this mission in stages, replacing gear for small groups of firefighters as funding becomes available.
This year’s Rock the Boot fundraiser is key to getting us closer to our goal. Every sponsorship and donation directly supports this effort—equipping our team with the modern, compliant gear they need and deserve.
VIKING offers highly customizable gear to ensure to go in strong no matter the challenge.
Previous Rock the Boot Missions
2024 - Turnout Gear
With each full set of turnout gear costing over $6,000, early donations and sponsorships this year are critical to getting a head start. By investing in new, NFPA-compliant gear now, we’re not only protecting our firefighters—we’re ensuring they’re ready to serve with confidence and safety on every call.
2023 - Zoll Cardiac Monitor
This state-of-the-art equipment is a game changer for our EMT's & Paramedics. Costing more than $40,000, it provides advanced cardiac monitoring, defibrillation, & real-time data to help guide critical decisions during life-threatening emergencies. Whether it’s a cardiac arrest, STEMI, or trauma call, the Zoll monitor helps us deliver faster, smarter, and more effective care when seconds matter most.
2022 - k12 Electric Saw
Unlike older gas-powered models, these modern battery-operated saws are faster to deploy, safer to operate, and more reliable in high-stress situations. They allow our team to move quickly and efficiently when lives are on the line—especially in structure fires, vehicle extrications, and other time-sensitive emergencies.
