Fire Rehab Needs A New Home!

 


For a number of years the Fire Rehab Group has had the opportunity to park our response equipment and supplies at the old Black Forest Fire Station at Shoup and Black Forest Road, and to make that our base of operations. Due to current economic circumstances and the addition of a new North District Station, Black Forest Fire has chosen to remove the old station from service and to demolish the building. This leaves Fire Rehab without a place to store our vehicles, equipment, supplies, and to have a place from which to operate. We are now aggressively seeking a new location. If anyone knows of any potential places that would be able to house two squads and a large trailer - preferably North of Woodmen Road, please contact us as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

New Chief at Peyton Fire:


Peyton Citizens – the Peyton Fire Protection District has interviewed and selected a permanent, Chief, Mr. Charles Omdahl.  It has been a long process but the district now has a new Chief that will continue to help our district move forward and provide a high level of service that we depend on.  I know I am personally very grateful for all the hard work that the firefighters and the board have done to select this very qualified Chief.    We should also be extremely thankful to Sharon Brown for her work and dedication as the interim Chief during this transition period.  There has been a continued high level of service to this community during this selection process.

 

Please join the firefighters and the board of directors at the next board meeting as Chief Omdahl will be introduced and sworn in as the new Chief.  Tuesday, 8 Nov at 6:30 at the Peyton Fire Station.  Refreshments will be served – come and welcome Chief Omdahl and say thank you to all our firefighters for their continued service.  Pass the word to your friends and neighbors and let’s give Chief Omdahl a great welcome.

 

Please let me know if you can attend and if you can donate to the refreshment table.  I look forward to seeing all of you and to starting this new chapter in the fire department! 

 

Thank You
