Those attending either Public Input Session will have the opportunity to provide valuable input and share ideas for future growth of the department. Fire Chief Edward "Tee" Tallman said, "We value what our community has to say about how we serve. Our goal is to provide the best of life saving care, and to have programs available that help to keep our citizens safe and free of fire risk. Our hope is to have a wide variety of people joining us for these meetings to help us determine the way we can better serve for the future."
