Sleeper & Stoutland VFD Year-in-Review

Greetings, all!

Sam here!

It has been a busy year for our small departments and it always brings me great pleasure to put together our awards ceremony and Year-in-Review slideshow. We have a video of the slideshow, but if you prefer to click through the slides at your own pace, you can use this link. The slideshow includes music, so adjust your volume as needed and enjoy the show!

We also capture pictures of other departments on mutual aid calls, so those departments and members can feel free to share this post and video!
