Poster Contest Winners Twelve students from Westwood Elementary were chosen as this years Fire Prevention Poster Contest winners.  The students were asked to make a poster with a fire safety message; and as usual, they did not disappoint us.  Pictured below are our winners, as well as Firefighter Derick Oswald, Lieutenant Bill Brown and Westwood Principal Shiela Buckeye.  A big congratulations goes out to third grader Emma Sumpter for having her poster sent to the State Fire Marshal's office for a statewide contest.  Emma and her little sister, Dana, are the granddaughters of retired Fire Lieutenant Jack Sumpter.  Congratulations to all our winners !

New Water Response Trailer in Service The Fire District's response to water related incidents has just been improved thanks to the purchase of a new 24' trailer.  The trailer will house all of the Fire District's dive gear, swiftwater gear, as well as both inflatable Zodiac boats and their motors.  Previously, two vehicles would be needed to pull the boat trailer and the equipment trailer.  The new response trailer features not only gear storage but also plenty of room for the divers and other responders to change, as well.
