Prevention at Madison Cross Roads School |

Fire Department along with Madison County Communications
personnel taught fire prevention and education to the
students at Madison Cross Roads Elementary School.
Students were instructed about the dangers of fire, what
to do in case of a fire in the home, making sure to have
smoke detectors along with other valuable information.
In addition, the children were able to see a real
fireman in full gear including an air pack to hopefully
ease a child's fear of the way the firefighter looks and
sounds. Students were also given a tour of the
fire truck. As always our goal is to prevent fire

Recognizes an Act of Bravery |

Members of Toney VFD
awarded a certificate of bravery to Joshua Ray for his
actions during a kitchen fire inside his home. A
smoke detector, which was given to him by our department

grandmother to a fire on the stove. Joshua was
able to bring the fire under control with a fire
extinguisher before he and his grandmother exited the
residence. Joshua was recognized in the Huntsville
Times newspaper and will also be submitted for national
recognition through his Boy Scout Troop.
Commissioner Dale Strong could not attend, but sent a
letter commending Joshua for his actions as well.
The smoke detector that Joshua received from our
department was provided through a grant awarded to the
Madison County Commission.
