An annual fundraiser for the Defiance Fire Department will be held this weekend at the fire hall. The Defiance Fire and Rescue Department is hosting their pancake breakfast from 8am to noon on Sunday. Fire chief Al Wilwarding says they will kick off Fire Prevention week by serving up a delicious breakfast.

“We’re kicking it off with a pancake, sausage, biscuits and gravy and scrambled egg breakfast. There will be juice and coffee all for a free will donation. Everybody is very invited to come. We do have carry-outs available.” He says the whole breakfast is all homemade. “We crack and scramble our own eggs. We make our own pancake mix. We have a company that donates a hog and we process it into sausage and then we grill it outside to make it extra good.”

The money donated will go towards the Defiance Fire Department to upgrade equipment.
