On behalf of the Cobb Island Volunteer Fire Department, EMS, and Auxiliary, we would like to thank everyone who joined us for our Annual Awards Banquet. It was a special night made even more meaningful by the presence of our families, friends, and community who continue to support us in all that we do.

We especially want to recognize and congratulate our award-winning members. Each of you stands for the best of what it means to serve—through countless hours of training, answering calls at all hours of the day and night, and always putting others before yourselves.

Your commitment, dedication, and sacrifice are the foundation of this department, and we were proud to honor and celebrate with you.

To all oour members—whether you were recognized with an award or continue to serve quietly behind the scenes—we thank you. Every role, every effort, and every act of service helps us succeed in our mission to protect and serve Cobb Island and neighboring communities.

We hope everyone enjoyed the evening as much as we did, and we look forward to carrying this spirit of teamwork, service, and community into the year ahead. Together, we are stronger, and together, we make a difference.
