Please join us in welcoming Shane Petrey to Frenchtown Fire’s resident program!

Shane joined the program in January and is already building valuable experience through training, calls, and time spent alongside the team.
As Shane shared, “I’ve always had a dream of becoming a firefighter and helping the community.”

Outside of the station, he enjoys riding horses, hunting, fishing, skiing, and spending time outdoors.

We’re glad to have Shane on board and excited to see all he’ll contribute to the department and our community. Help us give him a warm Frenchtown welcome!
