Following the tragic house fire on Wednesday, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported our department and community during this difficult incident.

A sincere thank you to our mutual aid fire departments and all emergency responders who worked tirelessly alongside us. Your professionalism, dedication, and teamwork were invaluable.

We would also like to recognize and thank the many local businesses that stepped forward to offer assistance and to those that provided food and drinks when it was needed most.

To the countless community members who dropped off food, water and snacks while crews remained on scene, your kindness and generosity did not go unnoticed. Your support is greatly appreciated.

In times of tragedy, our community continues to demonstrate the strength, compassion, and willingness to help one another and that makes us proud to serve here.

On behalf of our entire department, thank you to everyone who played a role in supporting the response efforts. We are truly grateful.
