Despite the rain Knoxville residents filled the Knoxville Township Rural Fire Department during the department’s annual Pancake Feed.

A breakfast of pancakes, sausage and eggs was served for a free will donation with all proceeds going towards the purchase of a Utility Terrain Vehicle for the department. Chief Kenny Thompson tells KNIA/KRLS News the turnout was great to see and he appreciates the community showing support for his department. A bouncy house was on available for any kids brave enough to deal with the wet conditions and various fire department equipment was on display as well for people to view.
