Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department

A huge thank you to The Salvation Army Crystal Lake Church of McHenry County for stopping by this morning with delicious treats for National Donut Day! 🍩❤️🍩
Beyond the morning pick-me-up, they shared the incredible history behind the tradition. Back in 1917, during WWI, Salvation Army volunteers traveled to the front lines in France to provide U.S. soldiers with supplies and fresh-fried donuts to lift their spirits. The women who served these treats became known as the "Donut Lassies."
Today, the Salvation Army carries on that legacy of comfort and care every first Friday of June. We truly appreciate the Salvation Army's continued support for our first responders!

Please join the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department in congratulating Firefighter/Paramedic Dalton Bennett on the successful completion of his probationary year. We are proud to have him on our team and look forward to his continued service and excellence in protecting our community.

Congratulations, Dalton!

Today, we honor the fallen heroes who gave their lives protecting our nation, our freedom, and our futures. This Memorial Day, and every day, we are deeply grateful for their sacrifice.
