The Miles Volunteer Fire Department held its Annual Breakfast at the Miles Fire station. They serve hundreds of meals to go and for dine in. The public was very supportive of this annual event and enjoyed what was served. Proceeds assist the department in upgrading equipment and purchasing new items that assist with emergency calls within the community. A raffle was also held at the event. The Miles Park Committe held a bake sale too, with the proceeds going to the Miles splash Pad project.

Greeting customers and selling raffle chances as well.

Other first responders who often work side by side with the fire departments enjoyed supporting the cause and getting a meal in before heading out for a call.

 

Owen Eads sported his firefighter apron as he served up the locally made sausage as part of the Miles Firefighter’s Breakfast.

 

Linda Lane and Mary and Jim Vorland stopped in for post church service breakfast and to have a few laughs with the firemen serving up the annual breakfast.

 

Raising funds requires hard work but that doesn’t mean laughs and good conversation can’t be found as well.
