The Weaver Fire Department Needs Your Assistance
![Extrication equipment](https://ccblueline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Extrication-equipment.jpg)
The Weaver Fire Department is a group of dedicated volunteers that strive to protect the people inside the Weaver Fire Jurisdiction. They respond to residential fires, vehicle collisions, natural disasters, and provide mutual aid to surrounding agencies. Working as a volunteer, each of the men and women of WFD train often with the equipment they have.
Today they are wanting to replace and upgrade their extrication equipment to the more current versions available. They are also wanting to purchase additional training equipment for the firefighters to utilize during training days.
Due to their small size, they have a much more restrictive budget. The City of Weaver is very generous to the department, but every agency could use more equipment.

Pre-game - The Smoke Eater Chili Challenge
The day before the big event will be a fun pre game at the Sinclair Social in Anniston. This event is open to all contestants, family, friends, and the entire community. They will have food trucks, a live band, and include a full bar. The pre game will be family friendly until 7:00 pm where it is recommended that only adults attend. During the family friendly period we will have fun games and interactions for the kids.
The Sinclair Social has pledged to give a portion of their evening proceeds towards the Weaver Fire Department fund raiser as well. There will also be donation areas for people to help contribute. By donating through the Calhoun County Blue Line Foundation, it is also a potential tax write off as we are a 501(c) (3).
