An Ice Bucket challenge has been circulating among local First Responder's to bring Awareness of Mental Health issues.
Chief Cole pledged a donation to Wounded Warriors and kept the challenge going by nominating Deputy Chief Nick Wilson.

Organizers from Heritage Classic presented Chief Cole with a $1000 donation for the upcoming Fire Games.
The Fire Department purchased a Rehab tent to be used by fire fighters as shelter at calls.
The tent will be used at the Fire Games as well.
Thank you to the organizers for the generous donation.
