A concert to support Cold Spring firefighters and first responders will ignite central Minnesota this weekend.
FireFest 2024 is set to burn the stage down on Saturday night. Event organizer Jeff Vee told KNSI that this could be the best show they’ve had in the event’s 16-year history. “We’re thrilled with the lineup that we have. It’s really exciting for the weekend.”
This year’s acts include Shaylen, Clay Walker, Parmalee and Brothers Osborne. Firefighter Matt Hesse told KNSI that running a department costs a lot of money, and this event helps to ensure they have the best equipment to answer the call when someone is in need. “It’s our fundraiser, and we treat it as that. And all the money comes back to us. It’s been a really good fundraiser for us to be able to stay up on our equipment.”
Firefighters respond to a lot more than just fires.
