ICYMI - Earlier this month, we received more than 90,000 dollars through FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant program. This funding will help us purchase new wildland fire protective gear, giving our firefighters the tools they need to stay safe while protecting our community.

We’re incredibly grateful for this support and excited to continue investing in the safety and readiness of our first responders.
