🎉 Happy Birthday to Retired Captain Gene Kracht! 🎉
Gene proudly served the City of Centralia for more than 26 years before retiring in 2016. Throughout his career—and even into retirement—he’s been the keeper of CFD history, always making sure our department’s story is remembered. From hire and retirement dates to truck purchases (back when we tracked that on paper!), Gene has kept the tradition alive.
Since his own last shift, he hasn’t missed a chance to be part of others’ retirement photos—helping preserve those moments for generations to come.
Thank you, Gene, for your dedication to the people of Centralia and for your passion in keeping our history alive. We hope this year brings you happiness and good health! ... See MoreSee Less

🚒🍰 Huge THANK YOU to the 2025 Centralia Balloon Fest "Dream Team" Dimi and Ellie for bringing us Jerry’s cheesecakes!
Your sweet gesture was the perfect way to celebrate the success of Sundays Touch-A-Truck event, complete with AirEvac landing right in the park. 🚁
Public relation events, kids’ fire prevention programs, future firefighter station visits… and yes, CHEESECAKE… are some of our favorite parts of the job.
We appreciate the community support that makes events like these possible — and delicious! ❤️
