for Emergencies
Like their brothers and sisters across our country who choose to serve in this line of work, our firefighters and emergency responders are willing to take risks to their own lives every day to save others from injury and loss of life.
They also put their own safety at risk in order to control property damage and property loss. We cannot emphasize too much the appreciation and admiration we feel for the sacrifices they make to keep us safe from harm.
Rob Robertson is our Fire Chief who
supervises the operation of our Fire Department members. Fire Chief has served full time for 22 years and has been Fire Chief for 14 years.
