Don't forget to thank your fire and ambulance volunteers when you see them. They do alot for our community and put in exessive hours. Just think- what would happen in an emergency situation if we didn't have volunteers willing to do this in our community? Hmm, we could wait for another town to come and hope they get there in time.Or, we could just tell them that we appreciate the services they provide and we probably won't have to worry about it. Thanks guys and gals for all the hard work you do!
