Retired Fire Chief Ken Tebo had high praise for his firefighters during Fire Prevention Week.

“I would like to take this opportunity to publicly express my appreciation and gratitude to the volunteer firefighters of this community.

Their dedication to the extremely difficult and always dangerous task of fire suppression must be recognized.”[1]

Under Tebo’s charge, the municipal firefighters worked a total of 5,747 hours.
