This week has been filled with great community engagement, continuing the Spray Downs and visitors stopping by the station. We had a Spray down at Lefferson Park, where there was a ton of fun all around! Then we were graciously presented with Blessing Bags, made by the kids at the Breiel Church Vacation Bible School. They made a bag for every member of the department and each one was unique and special.

We’re proud to serve this community!

Today we welcomed friends, family and colleagues to celebrate Lieutenant Steve Riley’s retirement party. Lt. Riley, has been with Middletown Fire since before a good portion of our members were even born ( May 6th, 1992).

Lt. Riley was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 2017 and has spent a majority of his time as the officer at Station 83 and most recently Station 85 on 1st Platoon. Lt. Riley has been a mentor for many of the members we have today and his impact will be felt for many years after his retirement. He has brought countless laughs with his humor and carried his vast experience and knowledge to calls for service all these years.

He is a Middletown native, veteran and has spent most of his life serving others. We thank his family for supporting him for all these years and we hope they enjoy retirement.

Thank you Lt. Riley, you will be missed!

Each year kids finishing 6th grade are selected by Middletown Schools to participate in Fire Camp. Throughout the day, the students are shown aspects of our daily life and get hands on training of tasks performed by firefighters. We keep it safe and controlled but they stay active and involved all day. It’s an opportunity for them to experience this profession outside of just seeing a fire truck drive by their house.

This years sponsor was Hightower Petroleum whom we can’t thank enough for their generosity in making this successful. Thanks to Middletown Schools, teachers current and retired, CBI, Middie Meal Machine, City of Middletown, and all the great students who participated in this day with us!
