I think we can all agree that a healthy, stable, and effective Fire Department is essential to any community. Our Fire Department is operated, run and staffed by volunteers and only volunteers. Building, maintaining and growing an effective and efficient Fire Department doesn’t just happen by itself.
Be a part of a team who can help mature the Fire Department to be the best it can be and ensure the fire fighters are supported with the equipment, staff and training they deserve, thus providing this community with the fire services it needs.
If this interests you, and you can commit 3 hours a month, please attend the Annual Member Meeting and let a Board of Director nominate you or have any member attending that meeting nominate you. The Annual Member Meeting will be held Tuesday, November 17 at the Fortine Elementary School, starting at 6:00 PM.
You do not have to have knowledge of how fires are fought or how fire departments are run. We have a tenured Chief and Assistant Chief who know how fires are fought and run the fire department.
What you do need is:
There are two positions to fill and can be filled by anyone who owns property and lives in Trego or Fortine. These are two-year terms, and the Board of Directors meet once a month; the second Tuesday of each month, 7:00 PM at Station #1 in Fortine.
