"THE MID-AMERICA FOOLS"
Pride, Honor, and Integrity just words to some but stands as the foundation of the Mid-America Fools. We pride ourselves as being in the greatest profession in the world, Firefighter. We honor our fellow firefighters of today, yesterday and into tomorrow. We don’t just say “Do the right thing” we do the right thing.
If Pride, Honor, and Integrity is the foundation then Tradition, Training, Family, and Fun stands as the pillars of our organization.
The fire service has such a rich heritage and tradition. Some of the founding fathers of our great nation were firefighters. The Mid America Fools believe in preserving this great heritage and tradition and passing it onto others.
Getting real training for real firefighters it’s not just about signing a sheet and calling it done. It’s about having a passion to learn and a passion to pass on the knowledge to others. That’s what matters. We believe our training will save a life of a firefighter.
Brotherhood, Sisterhood, and Family there is no other business, organization or club that can say these words and truly have a stronger meaning than the fire service has for them. The Mid America Fools believes that when one of our own is hurting we are hurting and when one of our own is happy we are happy.
And finally when we have a party WE HAVE A PARTY! There is nothing like letting loose with the ones you love.
LEATHER FOREVER
JBL
