This evening, we had the honor of witnessing a Citizen Life-Saving Award presented to Clint Schneider, in recognition of his actions on the night of September 11. Having spotted flames coming from a neighbor’s home, Mr. Schneider immediately ran across the street (barefoot!), gained entry, and helped the resident exit the home, all while fire conditions were rapidly worsening. Although the fire department response was rapid, nothing beats a brave neighbor across the street, willing to help. We believe that his actions were truly life-saving, and we applaud his bravery. We would also like to thank the other neighbors that helped the homeowner that evening and in the days afterward, with fundraising efforts to assist with needs after the fire. Mr. Rogers would be proud of this neighborhood! #washmo

A large group of WVFC personnel and family members attended and participated in the annual service at the Firefighter Memorial in Kingdom City, MO. Five WVFC members that passed away in 2025 were added to the Washington section of the memorial wall: Thomas E. Frankenberg Robert B. Hillermann Charles L. McCabe George J. Meyer Dennis G. Schwoeppe We are honored to have served with these fine men. If you have never been to the memorial, it is located at the northwest corner of the Kingdom City exit off of Hwy 70. It is a beautiful area for individual departments to honor their members, and for the highest recognition of Missouri firefighters that were lost in the line of duty.
