Troy Fire Protection District Spring BBQ Was a Great Success Thanks To the Community’s Support

Department members started preparing items Thursday night March 8, for Saturday's BBQ.  Pork was cooked and ready to be pulled, tables and roasters were setup.  Friday night final preparations were made for Saturday morning.  The menu consisted of pork steaks, pulled pork, bratwurts along with sides and deserts.  All department members participated throughout the day, which started at 6am getting the grill fired up.  Some members cooked, others served as others constantly cleaned.  The doors opened at 11am to a line of waiting people and food flowed until 5pm.

Our spring 2012 BBQ was a great success due to the outstanding support from the community.  Back a few years ago the Troy Lions Club donated thier grill to the department, over the years it has served each organization well but was in need of life saving restoration. The department invested a little money and restored it for many more years of service.

The department served up around 450 pork steaks and what seemed to be a ton of pulled pork.  Department members not only dedicate their time to provide this community with outstanding fire service but also support other organizations that provide a service to those in need, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance burn camp, helping a young victim of a fire injury live a little better.

To everyone out there in the community and the surrounding area who stopped in Saturday the department would like to say thank you for your support and helping our event a great success.

We hope to see you for out fall BBQ, date to be announced.

MARCH 10 2012

Come out and support your fire department and help us send a child to burn camp this summer.
On March 10 2012 the department will be putting out good food to raise money to send a child burn camp
Camp I Am Me
No other IFSA program has received greater attention from the fire service, medical community, general public and the media than has the summer camp for burned children. Burn Camp provides the setting for burn survivors to share their common experiences while being able to play and not feel self-conscious about their scars. The benefits to the campers -- physical, psychological, and emotional -- have been enough to inspire a long list of eager volunteers and contributors.


Check back later for updated information on the BBQ
