Updates....

Its been several months since we've updated our website.  There's a lot of excuses I can give, but basically its been because we've been using Facebook to update on call responses and other issues.  But after talking with Jonathan we're going to try to use this more again. 

Things that have been progressing since our last update.  We are in construction on our new fire station.  The Fire Station will be known as the West Marshall Department Middle Fork Station.  Here are some construction photos....

Second, we have been responding to calls now in the former Pioneer response area.  There have been few calls, which is a good thing of course.  

Additionally, we would like to congratulate our neighboring districts to the east, Hardin-South Marshall Fire Department and Aurora-Ross Fire Departments have merged to form the South Marshall Fire Department.  We look forward to working with the new department.

More updates to come...
