We appreciate our firefighters! 🥰 This announcement made my heart happy
We would like to address some concerns our neighbors may have about the fire camp. The Incident Management Team is using the Fairgrounds and Event Center for their Incident Command Post and Fire Camp. They are permitted to use the entire premises, including the Event Center building. There are over 100 fire personnel using the space and they have the option to sleep wherever they prefer including inside the building. They have full access to all indoor bathrooms, the kitchen and arena. There is a shower facility on site as well. The firefighters are well taken care of and have chosen their own preferred sleeping locations. While the generosity of the community is appreciated, they are not in need of any donations or alternative accommodations. Please give the firefighters their space and privacy. For and questions or concerns you can reach out to the Incident Management Team by calling 970-773-5823 or email 2025.southrim@firenet.gov.
