Are you Getting Hungry?

We worked up an appetite for pancakes, eggs (fried, never scrambled), bacon, and sausage after a busy season looking at new trucks, responding to over 140 fire and EMS calls a year, regular fire and EMS training and serving the great community that we are proud to serve!!!  Yep, it is getting closer to our 51st annual 4th of July Pancake breakfast. The bacon, sausage, pancake mix and syrup has been ordered. The cooler is getting chilled and the grills getting warmed up, all we need now is YOU!  Help break our record of over 3800 people by getting a ticket in advance and showing up between 7 am and 12:30 pm on July 4th at the Ely Fire Station and eat until you are full. Door to door ticket sales in the rural areas will be June 14th – through 16th..
