ZACHARY - The Zachary Fire Department is congratulating several new fathers in its ranks, seven to be exact.

Within the past eleven months, the department says it has had that many of its firefighters welcome new bundles of joy into the world. The crew members decided to have a little fun with the happy coincidence, showing off the wee ones on their dads' bunker coats.

"Our family just got a little bigger!" the department exclaimed in a post on its Facebook page.

The department named the new parents as Harper Lord, Harrison Scout Walker, Luke Wilks, Gavin Zachary, Sydney Douglas, Heidi Anders and Cullyn Grace Phenald.
