Firefighters and their families of The Bagdad Fire Protection District would like to thank Shelbyville First Baptist Church for hosting last night’s First Responder Picnic. The food and fellowship was excellent and your church family made us feel so welcomed. Thank you for the appreciation you displayed to all of Shelby County Emergency Responders and may God continue to bless your Church.

The BFPD would like to say Congratulations and best of Luck to Firefighter Adam Kenner. Adam will be heading out tomorrow morning for Boot Camp at Paris Island for the United States Marines. He will serve in 3rd Battalion, Kilo Company. Adam joined our department as a junior firefighter and grew up to the level of firefighter and has proven himself as true servant to the community we serve. Adam, please know we are all proud of you and we thank you for your decision to serve our country. We ask that everyone say a prayer for Adam and all the men and women who serve to protect our country each and every day.
