Please consider helping two of our members tomorrow!

On June 8th our department along with our mutual aid departments responded to a working structure fire. The fire was at the house of Rick and Khelli DeBeni both of whom belong to our department. They lost everything in the fire. We will be holding a spaghetti dinner for them on July 19th from 11:00 to 4:00 at the firehouse. Your support is greatly appreciated.
