I would like to give a big congratulations to Dave Rees who was promoted from acting lieutenant to full-time lieutenant. Congrats Dave and thanks for all your hard work over the last year. I would also like to congratulate Bryon Bambrick and Colton Burns who were promoted to acting lieutenant. This is a long process which considers years of service, application, interview, scenarios, written answers, lesson plans, and teaching our firefighters. Throughout the next year they w...ill continue teaching our firefighters, attend an officer training program, participate in on-call duty officer rotation, and attend officer meetings. After the year they will have their final review to be promoted to full-time lieutenant. Congratulations again to all three of you in your new rules!

With COVID-19 This year we haven’t had our normal hall visits from schools and other groups. So every month we are going to share some of our videos from within the fire hall and this month is 12 Holiday Tips for Fire Safety. I would like to thank the production crew and our hard-working actors for the making of this video. https://youtu.be/9lNBo2ky4XE
