Chief's Corner - March 2009

Looking back on the last year has shown how valuable working as a team is for our Fire department. It is not an accident that so much has been accomplished last year. Now that we are heading into spring we will be doing more hands on training and the team work we had in the past will be very crucial to that training and the safety aspects during that training.

There will be a joint training session with Jefferson fire department to burn a building at the fairgrounds. This will be a Saturday morning training event so watch for that date.
