Congratulations Joe!!! We are so proud of you!!!

The Southwest Regional Meeting in Bonita Springs brought together fire service leaders from across the region for a day of connection, updates, and recognition.

A highlight of the meeting was honoring Joe Faircloth of North Collier Fire Rescue District as the EVT of the Year—well-deserved recognition for his dedication and service.

We were also pleased to welcome State Representative Yvette Benarroch(District 81), who joined us and shared remarks with attendees.

The meeting featured updates from the Board of Directors, the Florida Fire Chiefs’ Foundation (FFCF), the Division of State Fire Marshal and Florida State Fire College, a SERP update, and an opportunity to hear from election candidates.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a successful meeting—and a special thank you to our sponsors for supporting this event.

Kaitlyn does not remember that night from May of 2024. When our crews found her, she had been ejected from the car and was suffering from severe burns covering her torso, arms, and legs.
She doesn't remember the worst night of her life, and we have never forgotten it.
Through email and videos, we have kept in contact and, as hard as our firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics trained to be ready for this call...Katie has fought just as hard to heal from it.

Last week, they met for the very first time.
No script.
No expectations.
Just tears of gratitude, hope, healing, and love.

Katie, you and your family are now part of our family. You inspire us all with your determination, your amazing positivity, and grit. We will never forget THIS moment.
Thank you for wanting to meet us, for being our hero, and the reminder of why we do what we do.

This is only a glimpse at the reunion. Be sure to stay tuned in the coming days when Britt Leoni of Gulf Coast News shares this incredible story.
