Tennis Pro Coming To Town!
Firehouse News and Views
by- Chief Hugh Simpson
A big thanks to all who assisted in the saving
of our elementary school on July 20th, when
the roof caught fire during roofing operations.
We only had three firefighters available
initially, and we had our hands full. Police
Chief Mel Ray, Public Works Director Tom
Hayes, the roofers, people who volunteered to
see that hose lines were free of kinks, those
who brought fans so we could clear smoke
from the building, etc. helped a lot.
Also, the U.S. Forest Service brought their
engine in case we needed water or tools, and
so did Oregon Department of Forestry.
Thanks to firefighters Tim Shaw, Patti Shafer,
Jeff Gorman, Darren Kinyon, Cassie Wolfe,
- and Fire Districts #4 and #3, who responded
to our mutual aid request, and to all the
employers who allow our volunteer
firefighters to leave their jobs in order to save
lives and property in our community.

I also wish to compliment all the citizens who
helped us by watching the firefighting
operations from a safe distance, thereby
enabling us to do our job without undue
worry that someone might be injured.
Let’s use this incident as a reminder that we
all must be ever vigilant when it comes to
fires and fire safety, and do our best to see
that we are fire safe.
If you wish to help more by becoming a
volunteer firefighter, please come to a
meeting on a Tuesday evening at 6:30
'
and talk with us to see if you qualify. If you
do, you may join us and become part of our
I MLKJIHGFEDCBA
team. Our community responded well to this
emergency. We worked together and
succeeded in saving a very important asset
for our town. Good Job!
