We have good news for our dept. We just received word that we are approved for 12 new sets of turnout gear for our dept. I know I am happy as the gear I have been in is from 1991 and showing it's age.

We have also sent out to a local company a request for grant money for some new pagers and radios. I have one of the oldest pagers, a Motorola Keynote. I can't complain too much as it still works better the the Minitors that we have.

On February 8th we are having a spaghetti dinner fund raiser to raise more money to put toward the loan we have on our new tender/tanker.
