Lookingglass Rural Fire District (LRFD) is excited to announce our participation in the upcoming Challenge of the Heroes event on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. This community tradition brings together firefighters, law enforcement, and EMTs in a friendly competition—all in support of an important cause: Douglas County Child Abuse Prevention Initiatives.

A Cause That Matters

Every dollar raised during Challenge of the Heroes goes directly toward programs that work to protect children, prevent abuse, and provide resources to families throughout Douglas County. By coming together as a community, we can ensure that these vital services continue making a difference where they are needed most.

LRFD’s Challenge

Last year, LRFD teamed up with Winston Police Department and Central Douglas Fire & Rescue at Carlos’s Mexican Restaurant. This year, we are proud to have our own location at Lookingglass Brewery. With our new home base, LRFD is putting out a friendly challenge to Winston Police and Central Douglas Fire: we are determined to raise more donations than both of them!

How You Can Help

Together for Douglas County’s Children

At the heart of this friendly rivalry is a very real mission: ensuring every child in Douglas County has the opportunity to grow up safe and supported. With your help, we can strengthen prevention programs and provide hope for the future.

Join Lookingglass Rural Fire District in making a difference—and let’s show Winston Police and Central Douglas Fire just how strong the Lookingglass community can be when it comes to giving back.
