Beware of the icy roads. We responded to two injury accidents within 14 hours of each other this week.
Snow is coming. Remember, if your road isn’t well plowed and you can’t get out, in an emergency we can’t get in. At best, any response will be delayed. Reflectors along your snow-covered driveway can be a big help. We learned some folks drove off their own driveway last winter.
All our volunteers wish to thank Sabra Snow for the tasty cookies, fruit and other goodies she delivers before each drill. It is great to be remembered and appreciated in this way.
Your fire department needs you! You don’t have to go into a burning building or climb up onto a smoking roof. You can be the volunteer that flags traffic at an accident or the person who comforts a frightened child whose mother is injured. There is a lot to do in emergencies. The fire departments and your communities need your help. Please join.
Also be aware there is more than one way to help out in your community, if not as a first responder. The annual Firehouse Sale raises thousands of dollars, a goodly portion of which goes to help the fire department. There is also the High Prairie Community Council, with it’s annual Christmas gathering, Firefighter Appreciation Dinner, and other community activities.
Please join in, make friends, and help make your community a great place to live.
