At last night’s Annual Meeting, Firefighter Steve Shorts was voted in as our company’s new Vice President! Please join us in welcoming Steve to the position and congratulating him on his new role.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our outgoing Vice President, Lieutenant Keith Kundahl, for his years of service, dedication, and commitment to our company.

Don’t worry, Keith isn’t going anywhere! He’s just stepping away from the E-Board. We look forward to continuing to serve alongside him for years to come.
