Your Lowell Area Fire Department had a full weekend

Happy Monday !!! Your Lowell Area Fire Department had a full weekend. We had the privilege of honoring the men and women who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001 at the GR stair climb and then Sunday we had the opportunity to walk with Neighbors United who walk 140 miles to raise awareness and to honor Michigan Firefighters battling cancer. It was also a great opportunity to meet new people and hear their stories. Statistics state that firefighters are 25% more likely to contract cancer due to their job environment than in any other profession and in 2019, it became the number one killer of firefighters. 

This is the reason they walk !!
