We regret to inform you that one of our past members James (Jim) Cerveny passed Thursday 5/24.
Jim was a valued member and Firefighter of the Jefferson Monroe Fire Department (Swisher) from 1980 – 1994. He served as secretary and treasurer from 1985 – 1989.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. His fire family misses him but his contributions and efforts live on through our community.
Rest peacefully brother you have served us all well!
Obituary
This day we remember those who have laid down their lives in battle.
We lower our flag to half mast to honor those before us.
We raise our flag from midday to sunset to honor those living who watched their brothers and sisters fall.
We have two members from our Cadet program that graduated yesterday with their class of 2018.
We could not be more excited of the future that awaits you!
Congrats Trennan and Nicole!!
If you or someone you know is between 16-17 looking to learn more about a career in fire or ems.
We have a cadet mentorship program.
What better way to help your neighbor. Takes less time to donate a pint of blood than it does to finish a large leisure coffee.
