We would also like to extend a special thank you to DARCARS Chrysler Jeep of Waldorf for their generous support in providing a vehicle to present our Fire Prevention Queens in the parade. Your support helped make our presentation shine!

While we were representing Cobb Island at the convention, our community called for help — and true to our mission, CIVFD responded to both emergency calls with full staffing. Our crews were ready and answered the call without hesitation, showing that no matter where we are, serving and protecting Cobb Island always comes first.

This commitment speaks volumes about the dedication, teamwork, and heart of our volunteers.

Stay tuned for more photos from the convention and parade — we are proud to serve, and proud to represent Cobb Island with honor every day!
