  1. ANNOUNCEMENTS
  2. Completion of the living quarters above the district office is progressing.  We have our Certificate of Occupancy and will be purchasing furniture soon.  Please watch for a possible questionnaire as to how best utilize the quarters, volunteers and fulfilling our patrons needs.
  3. Wildland fire training will be coming up on the horizon soon. There will be some great learning opportunities to take advantage of.
  4. On that note, please take some time to go over your wildland gear and make sure everything is in order.  If you are in need of anything, please contact the district office. 
  5. THANKS to all who answered the call for mutual aid to Madison Fire!  It was a great district turnout and they were thankful for the help.
  6. When we have a mutual aid call like that, I prefer it to be a district opportunity and not just limited to one station, as long as that is possible and expedient.  Please also remember that we can’t send everyone on a mutual aid call so we still have adequate coverage here.
