ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Just a reminder that Commissioner’s Meeting is held at 8 PM in the classroom of Station 1 on the second Thursday of each month. It is open to the public and members of Central Fire District. All are welcome to come to the meetings to see how the District functions and see what the Commissioners are tasked with, i.e. large scale purchasing, expenditures, patron comments, state of the District and reports from the District and Battalion Chiefs.
  • Rigby and Ririe have had some difficult calls recently. Everyone worked together seamlessly in all cases and your efforts are greatly appreciated.
  • Cold weather has arrived! Please make sure all your gear is ready to go as we could start to see some wrecks and structure fires. Also, in those situations, try to respond to the station instead of the scene to keep the scene uncluttered and make sure there are enough personnel to man the trucks.
