About the Fredericktown Firefighters Association
The Fredericktown Firefighters Association is comprised of firefighters who proudly serve with the Fredericktown Community Fire District (FCFD). Being a volunteer-based fire department, these men and women graciously expend considerable time and effort, above and beyond their normal professions and daily lives, to assist others in their time of need. Although these firefighters are labeled as "volunteers", they possess the same training and certifications as "career" firefighters, perform the same job duties, and are subject to the same risks, making them special people who put others before self.
Service and Dedication
While all calls for help to FCFD may not necessarily be classified as an emergency, the Firefighters believe that the person making the call deems the matter to be serious enough to reach out for assistance. The Firefighters make every effort to resolve all situations to a satisfactory conclusion. This service requires a high level of dedication and compassion for others and a diversified basis of knowledge and skills.
The members of Fredericktown Firefighters Association also conduct annual fundraising activities to support various initiatives such as member retention, departmental improvements, and charitable activities. All of these initiatives are conducted in addition to the firefighting requirements with the funds raised being held strictly separate from the tax-based income received by the FCFD.
Purpose of the Scholarship
When asked what motivated the Firefighters to fund this scholarship, Fire Chief Scott Mast said "the primary purpose of this scholarship is to recognize the generations of individuals that selflessly made a commitment to the FCFD to render assistance to others, regardless of the situation and the risk. It is to also recognize the family members who sacrifice invaluable family time and worry for the welfare of their firefighter".
Mission and Goal
When questioned about the Firefighters mission and goal, Chief Mast stated:
Mission: "To be wherever we are needed, whenever we are needed, for whatever reason we are needed"
Goal: "To be the best volunteer fire department in the nation"
"We are thankful for all those willing to accept the mission and the goal."
