I’ve loved it ever since and I give it 110% percent”, Chief Myers said.

“I truly admire the heart and dedication of our firefighters they put in the hours and work, they get up in the middle of the night to run calls to serve our community. Without the dedication of our members, we would not exist as a Volunteer fire department.”
