FD/EMS
Report from Brad Benard- Not a
super long report tonight. We’ve had one call and that was for a
chimney fire. It was actually in our township and the fire was
contained to the chimney thanks to quick action from Scott Williams.
Our side by side is currently being worked on by Nate Berg. He will
wire the lights on our trailer when he’s done. We are ramping up our
planning for the corn roast, purchasing prizes and such. We actually
purchased our grand prize early this year. It is a Polaris ranger
double cab. We are excited to see how much interest we have in it.
that’s all I have for the month. Thank you
