With the holidays around the corner our members have been busy. For the last few days we decorated the Firehouse for the holidays, helped put wreaths on veterans graves around town as well as train our members on drafting, hose work and SCBA.

Stay safe this holiday season and enjoy the holiday lights adorning the Firehouse over the holidays.
