The Clyde Fire Department is thanking the community for helping make this year’s Firemen’s Carnival a major success—praising local support, business sponsorships, and regional partnerships that kept the event running strong.
In a statement released August 22, the department expressed gratitude to everyone who participated in or contributed to the 2025 Clyde Firemen’s Carnival, which raised funds for a critical roof replacement project at the fire station.
“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire community, surrounding communities, and every supporter,” the statement read. “It is because of this incredible partnership between our community, local sponsors, and our firefighters that we are able to continue our mission.”
In addition to thanking dedicated fire personnel and local sponsors, the department also recognized a neighboring fire department for providing emergency response coverage during the event.
Carnival to return in 2026
The Clyde Fire Department confirmed the carnival will return next year, with improvements in the works. Specific details are expected in early 2026.
Organizers say they hope next year’s carnival will bring the same level of enthusiasm and generosity. All proceeds this year will go directly toward roof repairs for Station 1 on Ford Street.
The department emphasized the importance of community support in helping them maintain equipment, staff stations, and stay ready to respond when needed.
