What a trip down memory lane. I was FF/PM 24 in 1976 and was a proud member of the dept under Chief Rasch, with A/C Fiji and Paul P, Billy D, Tommy Janes, my good friend Ed Vasil, Pat, John, and the rest of the 70-80's crew. While on "sleeper shift" I was able to complete college and then on grad school while at RPFPD. I started in old 306, moved to the modular and graduated from Ingalls in 77. What a trip to see the new equipment. I wish you ALL the very best of safety and hope that you too will look back 35+ years at the great times at "RP'. Remembering the call sign KSD 738 and all the foundation RP gave me to continue to be a great firefighter/paramedic. RPFPD gave us all a wonderful foundation to go anywhere we wanted to. Some to CFD, others around the US, others to different areas of medical care...but I got bit by the FD/EMS bug at RP and have been infected ever since......great stuff. Best to you all, Craig Jacobus; D.C.; FFII/NREMT-P/ EMSI Schuyler Fire Department, Schuyler, NE

Thank you so much for the annual Santa run. It is such a wonderful tradition, and we look forward to it every year! Our three little ones we so thrilled when Santa drove by and a fireman gave them candy canes. THANK YOU!!!

It was a great honor to have been a part of the History of the Roberts Park Fire Protection District, I will always remember the men and women of the district.
Keep up the good job, like awlays I will be taking pictures for my website and making videos for youtube (martintheman16). One day I will work for Roberts Park, I cannot wait until that day when I start.
A lot has changed since I left in 1985. I was happy to see the pictures of the old equipment. Brings back a lot of memories.
