About Us
The Byron Firefighter’s Association is comprised of active members of the Fire District that are voted in to join the association after a minimum of 6 months on the department. The association also has Honorary Members, who are retired members of the Fire District, that had at least 5 years of service with the district prior to retiring. Throughout the year, the association donates a majority of its funds to the Byron community to support community based projects, organizations, and families in need.
Events are held throughout the year to build funds for the association. Such events include a weekend car wash, available by appointment by calling Michele at District Headquarters Monday thru Friday 8am – 4pm (234-4911), the KICK-OFF to SUMMER Carnival, and many more.
Scholarships
Our annual Scholarship Golf Playday is held the first weekend in May. This allows us to give up to four graduating Seniors from Byron High School a $1,000 scholarship, if the graduates meet the requirements set forth by the association.
Community & Charity Activities
Multiple charity events are run throughout the year to support individual charities. Such events include the St. Patty’s Day Charity Event for IFSA Burn Camp; Fill the Boot for MDA at the intersection of Blackhawk and Union, and more.
Come Christmas time the association teams up with Santa for the yearly Santa visits throughout the community on Christmas Eve. Children get their picture with Santa and get to check out the Christmas fire truck
For more than 40 years now, the association holds the Charter for Cub Scout Pack #147 of Byron. The Association and Cub Scouts have a very strong working relationship and the Association is very proud to be their Charter Representative. The association is a very proactive and community based organization. We take extreme pride in supporting our community anyway possible.

Golf Playday
The Byron Firemen’s Association will host their 30th Annual Scholarship Golf Playday on Saturday May 2nd at PrairieView Golf Course, Byron, IL. Check in for registered golfers begins at 7 a.m. with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. The cost is $90.00 per person which includes green fee, ½ Cart, midcourse brat and lunch at the conclusion of your round.
The money raised from the playday goes toward scholarships for Byron High School Seniors majoring in the medical or fire science field. Typically the Association awards four $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors. This is based on funds raised by the Golf Outing and the number of Scholarship Application received from graduating seniors.
The Association appreciates the communities ongoing support and would love to see as many people as possible coming out for a day of fun! The golf playday is open to anyone who wants to have a good time – no matter what “level” of golfer you are! For more information contact the Byron Fire Department at 815-234-4911.
