VIDEO: The Hanover and Elizabeth volunteer fire departments came together to host a joint fundraiser for four firefighters who were injured while helping fight separate fires in Jo Daviess County at the beginning of April. The fundraiser was held on Saturday from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Hanover Fire Station, 201 Fillmore Street, and at the Hanover V.F.W.
Three of the injured firefighters were from the Elizabeth Fire Protection District, while the fourth injured firefighter was from the Lanark Fire Department, according to Elizabeth Fire Departmentโs chief. Two of the Elizabeth firefighters have returned home while another remains in the hospital, but is making a faster than expected recovery. The firefighters were injured during two different grass fires this spring.
