Leaf River Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Jeremy Glick makes another batch of pancakes on Feb. 25, 2023, during the annual Leaf River Firemen's Pancake Supper. Next to him, firefighter Austin Yuill cleans a grill in preparation for the next batch of sausage. A little over 700 people attended the fundraiser at the Leaf River fire station, raising $2,050.
