Good people, your Fire Department page has been quiet for far too long, and for that, I offer my apology. But though the posts were absent, the work most certainly was not.
We return now with photos from recent training — and not the easy kind.
Our firefighters trained on rescuing one of our own during a Mayday situation. When a firefighter is trapped, injured, lost, or in trouble, every second matters. This training is tough, serious, and absolutely necessary. It reminds us that when we enter dangerous places together, we must also be prepared to bring each other home.
Crews also trained on updated CPR standards for adults and infants, continuing to sharpen the lifesaving skills needed for the people of our community — from the smallest child to the oldest neighbor.
The page may have been silent, but the department has not.
We have been training.
We have been preparing.
We have been working.
And now, good people, we are back to sharing that work with you.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and your continued trust.

Dumpsters are pretty much full after the first day. There might be enough holes for a couple small loads. Please try and smash it down as much as you can. Tires can still be left on the tire pile all weekend. We appreciate everyone’s support and hopefully we can find some funding to do it again!

Don’t be embarrassed when the fire trucks, with all our bells and whistles on, shows up at your house because someone driving down the road saw your fire. Instead, just make the easy call to report your fire and prevent yourself from becoming the talk of the neighborhood.

There is a large control burn going on around Hwy 177 and 1000 RD today. They are burning off large piles of cedar trees.

Downed power lines. Always avoid them. Treat every down line as if its energized and call for help.
