It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of our Fire Chief, Brent Collins, who was killed in a car accident last night.
If you lived around here, chances are you knew Brent, or he'd helped you out at some point. He was a veteran who never stopped serving, whether it was answering a call in the middle of the night or just lending a hand to a neighbor who needed one. That was Brent, always showing up. When he wasn't looking out for the rest of us, you'd find him out deer hunting or fishing, doing what he loved most.
Brent leaves behind a family who loved him dearly, and a whole community that did too. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Please give them the time and space they need to grieve, and respect their privacy as they do.
Service details will be shared once they are available.
Chief, thank you for your service to our country and our community. You will be deeply missed.
