This evening around 18:30, one of our firefighters alerted our group of several small ditch fires that he came upon west of town along the highway that he and some community members were trying to put out but were struggling due to the wind and heat. Members started responding to the hall till we were toned out from dispatch.
Nine members responded with two units and worked with passerby’s to get the fires out. Cause is uncertain at this point and is being looked into.
Thank you to motorists for slowing down and pulling over to let us work safely! Us and our families appreciate it! Once again our community members and people passing by were quick to start doing what they could with what they had to contain the fires, which left us with a-lot less work thankfully!
Thank you members for dropping your day and leaving your dinner tables to help protect our community!
