Chief's Report for December 2007

We responded to one tire fire on Christmas night.
We were called to set up an LZ on Cedar Fork.

We had a total of 70 runs for the 2007.

Truck #63 is going to need a battery replacement very soon.

On December 14, we met Rep. Coach Roach at the courthouse. He presented us with a check for $5,000 to buy much needed equipment. This was from a Community Enhancement Grant that we had put in for.

The fire Chief's Association of TN is sponsoring classes in Pigeon Forge on March 2-3 2008. I signed up four to attend the classes. Cost is $50 per class, per student.

We enjoyed a very nice Christmas dinner and going away party for Tony Smith. We do wish Tony well as he goes into the Marines.

Training will be every Thursday night at 6:30. All fire fighters need to attend.

Thanks to everyone for all your hard work in 2007. I look forward to working with each one of you in 2008.

Respectively submitted,
Austin Sandefur, Chief
