May God bring healing to the family and the department. Please share and donate if you can community

It is with very heavy hearts that we share the news of a tragic loss within our fire department family. The son of one of our current firefighters unexpectedly passed away this past weekend. We have received countless calls and emails asking what people can do to help the family, so we have added information in the comments section. We ask that you give the family privacy as they grieve this tremendous loss.

Please keep the Hooper family, Elk River Fire Department, and any others affected by this loss in your thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks, and months ahead.🙏
