Thirty-plus firefighters, auxiliary members and their families (plus one Kazakhstani) enjoyed the perfect weather at a picnic under the pines at the Old Fort on Aug. 23. Thanks to all who helped and those who came with all the good food.

Reminder: the auxiliary has scholarship money available for those who would like to receive training not paid for completely by the fire department. This money can also be used for babysitting or transportation expenses if needed so that you can get training. To apply, see Steve or Robin for the (simple) form to fill out.
