April 15, 2016 will not be forgotten. The events of that day still live with our members, a simple call for help that went terribly wrong. The murder of “Skillet” and the injuries sustained by Kevin Swain and our other members are still evident in our lives. We continue to serve, we continue to heal, but we will never forget those events. Kevin Swain demonstrated extreme determination healing from his wounds and continuing to serve while obtaining his Paramedic certification. The MVFD showed unbelievable resolve to continue to serve after such an attack and our community, supporting entities, partners and the entire fire service rallied around us. We are still here today serving, no matter what the odds
