The 22nd Annual Grand Junction Fire Department’s breakfast fundraiser will be held this Saturday.

Pierre Kellogg with the department says their pancake breakfast fundraiser is one of the largest fundraisers of the year over the 4th of July holiday.

The menu includes pancakes, whole hog sausages, scrambled eggs, milk, juice or water for $5 for adults and $3 for kids.

He points out that all the proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward equipment purchases and training.

“According to the State of Iowa now we have to all be firefighter One trained and have 24-hours of continuing education every year.  The people expect us to be trained, they expect us to do our job and we do it.  But they (the proceeds) are put back into the department to go to that further training, to go to that equipment that we need so we can protect the people of Junction Township, the town of Grand Junction and Dana.”

The meal will be served from the fire station in Grand Junction on Saturday, July 5th from 6:30-10:30am.
