These men willingly make daily sacrifices and readily put themselves in harm’s way to insure the safety of this community and the welfare of its residents. We wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU for their acts of kindness and selfless heroism.

The names of firefighters on shift are Captain Richard Adkins, engineer Mike Tracy, firefighter Drew Bynum, firefighter John Downey, firefighter Richard Pfeiffer, and investigator Keith Adams.
