For my friends in the Northwest:
"There are a lot of moving parts getting everything ready to go and scheduled out, it's a big undertaking but we have a great team putting things together. We are working on the preliminary schedule for the day of the Benefit and will have that announced Friday. We are also lining out Job needs for the MANY people who have reached out wanting to volunteer. It's incredible to see how many people want to help and be part of this, obviously there are constraints on time and how many people we can put on each stage. We're so grateful for the outpouring from all the artists and bands wanting to perform and show their support. It's been very difficult to figure out how many we can fit in the day. So thank you to everyone for your patience an understanding. even if you're not performing, we will be reading off the names of bands who offered to perform and we'd still love to see everyone out here to support the community and these families.
Also, We wanted to make it very clear where the donations would be going as it's very important to all of us that this benefit runs full transparency and all donations will be going directly into the families accounts through the Red & Blue Foundation "
Get your tickets now for the "A Community Rises Up" benefit to lift up each other in our community and these families impacted.

❤️‍🔥 Two riderless horses led the Coeur d’Alene 4th of July Parade today. The horses carried the boots of fallen Battalion Chiefs John Morrison and Frank Harwood. The horses were followed by Kootenai County Fire and Rescue and Coeur d’Alene Firefighters and their families.

Injured CdAFD Engineer David Tysdal remains in the hospital in stable condition.

Both Fire Departments want to thank the community for its amazing support.

We had first seen the HBO series John Adams the year before C0vid (long after the series was created) and it became one of our first unofficial symbols/motivations to stand up against the governor () and lockdowns. I've posted this part of the series on multiple Independence Days, but every time I watch it I am again reminded of what our founding fathers went through, what they were losing and what they were gaining, and how we owe them so much for being able to live in the greatest country of all time. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

🚨 Injured Firefighter Update: Dave Tysdal Now in Stable Condition 🚒

Coeur d’Alene Firefighter-Engineer Dave Tysdal remains in the ICU but has made significant progress following the tragic Canfield Mountain incident.

According to Deputy Fire Marshal Craig Etherton, Dave’s condition has improved from critical to stable. Doctors performed a third successful surgery today to address severe chest trauma. Tysdal is now off a ventilator and able to speak with family and medical staff.

He also sustained spinal trauma during the attack. While doctors are cautiously optimistic, they’ve noted that a long and challenging road to recovery lies ahead.

Tysdal’s courage and resilience continue to inspire fellow firefighters and the entire community.

🧑‍🚒❤️ Please keep Dave, his family, and all of our first responders in your thoughts.
