ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • The green training sheets for EMS have been updated to add in the new modules and remove some that were redundant. Please pay attention to them and fill them out accurately. You MUST write a description of what you trained on! This helps us make sure training hours are tracked accurately. Also, make sure you are using fire training sheets for fire and EMS for EMS. If you need more, make a copy or let Lisa know and she will print them off.
  • The Sheriff’s office is already planning a softball rematch this year at the summer party, so start practicing!
  • Ditch burning season is beginning already! Please go through your wildland gear and make sure everything is in good condition and ready to go. We recommend good heavy leather boots, NOT tennis shoes. If you need boots, 190 has found some for good prices.
  • If you know of anyone who would be interested in joining Central Fire District, please get them an application!
