Fire Chief Dave Winnacker welcomed the four as they move into front line service. "The reports of their performance during a challenging four month academy match the high expectations the organization had for this group and we are confident they will continue to perform at a high level," Winnacker said. "With the approach of fire season, the boost in staffing is timely as we anticipate yet another busy summer and fall." - N. Marnell
