Our Signature Event 🥞

Pancake & Sausage Breakfast

Claypool Fire Station · Free-will donation

Pancakes, sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy, and coffee that will put hair on your chest — all cooked by the crew. Eat in or carry out. Come early; we've been known to run out.

It's our biggest fundraiser of the year, and it's the most fun we have with our boots off.

When Is the Next One?

We announce breakfast dates on Facebook as soon as they're set — along with weather closures, road incidents, and anything else the community needs to know. It's the fastest and most reliable way to hear from us.

Give the page a follow and the date will show up in your feed. No account? The page is public — you can read it without signing in.

Not on Facebook? Call Chief Hurley at (574) 527-0743 or send us a message and we'll let you know when the next breakfast is scheduled.

Why It Matters

A Pancake Breakfast Buys Real Equipment


It can feel a little quaint — firefighters selling breakfast to buy fire trucks. But that's genuinely how it works out here. Public funding covers part of what a modern fire and rescue department costs. Fundraisers and donations cover the rest.

When you buy a plate, you're not making a symbolic gesture. You're buying a section of hose, part of an air pack, or an hour of a volunteer's certification training.
