Best Week Ever – August 8, 2021

This week the Excelsior Springs Fire Department is having the Best Week Ever after Ray Yates worked to surprise the department last Friday by presenting them with a new Traeger smoker for the fire station. In response the fire department said the following of Ray:

Personnel can spend days at a time living at the station in order to provide quality service to our citizens and having some of the comforts of home make ESFD a more enjoyable place to be. Ray is one of our biggest supporters and we are humbled by the gesture. Rest assured that the crews are already putting it to good use.

In addition to this, Ray also asked citizens to share their experiences with Excelsior Springs Fire Department and the responses were amazing to read! See below!
