On December 22, 2025, the Pownal Fire Department gathered with firefighters, families, and loved ones to celebrate the holiday season with their annual Christmas dinner. The event highlighted the strong sense of community that extends beyond emergency response and into the homes and families who support the department year-round.
Firefighters shared a meal alongside spouses, children, and relatives, recognizing that the job requires sacrifices not only from those who serve but also from the families who stand behind them. From missed holidays to late-night calls, family support plays a vital role in ensuring firefighters can continue to protect their community.
Department members expressed appreciation for the unwavering encouragement they receive behind the scenes, noting that the strength of the Pownal Fire Department is rooted in both teamwork on the fireground and support at home. The evening served as a reminder that firefighting is more than a profession—it is a family commitment.
The Pownal Fire Department wished everyone a safe and happy holiday season and thanked their families for being an essential part of the department’s success.
