On behalf of the Chiefs, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who participated in the parade including all that helped set up, and clean up after the Parade.
Additionally, we want to recognize the incredible effort of the roughly 50 members who stepped up during yesterday’s severe storm. Beginning on the morning of July 4th, the department responded to 39 emergency calls within a 24-hour period. Of those, 32 calls were a direct result of the storm, creating a sudden surge of hazards in a very short window. Crews handled a wide range of dangerous incidents, including electrical hazards, burning wires, CO alarms, and trees down on vehicles with occupants trapped inside. Members also worked tirelessly to reopen the area’s roadways when nearly every route was blocked by fallen trees.
Every single call was answered promptly. This was an exceptional response, and we deeply appreciate the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of our members who left their families on a holiday to protect the community. Keep up the great work.
