In a Father's Day post on Sunday, the department said its firefighters have welcomed 14 babies into their families – the most ever born to VFD members in one year.

"Family is incredibly important to us, and this blessing is a true testament to the joy and strength of our firefighting community," the department wrote on Facebook.
