Department training has switched back to virtual learning. The past two weeks members learned about child abuse recognition and discussed ideas for training for 2021. Our Santa Run this past Saturday was done with as limited manpower as possible, and we hope everyone enjoyed it.

Tomorrow is the day! Reminder these times are estimates, and several factors such as emergency response will effect times. We will try to keep everyone posted on the progress. We have too many neighborhoods to list, so just because yours may not be here does not mean we aren’t coming! Use the neighborhoods listed that are near you to estimate. Also, DUE TO WEDNESDAY’S SNOWFALL, we may not be able to get down some of the cul-de-sacs and dead ends that we may have done in the past. If you’re concerned we won’t make it down your street PLEASE GO TO THE INTERSECTION! This is a 14 hour+ day for our volunteers, and we are scaling back our event staffing due to Covid. Please have some understanding if things don’t go as planned.
