Thoughts and prayers are with the Schurr family and our brothers/sisters of PVFD.

We are devastated to share the news of the sudden passing of Pleasant View Volunteer firefighter Clint Schurr. Clint was a hardworking dedicated firefighter who always put the teams needs ahead of himself. His quirky sense of humor and friendly nature will be deeply missed at the fire house and on calls. He always showed up with determination and a willing spirit. He was always encouraging his fellow firefighters and had a great perception off people's needs and took care of lots of little things that made a big difference.
Pleasant View Volunteers are grieving along side the Schurr family. Please keep the Schurr family and volunteers in your prayers during this very difficult time.
