A Note from the Fire Chief...
Winter is here! Make sure you are prepared by packing an emergency kit in your car. Use extra caution when driving and even walking on the icy roads and walkways. Ice conditions on the lake can vary daily as the weather changes, so be sure to check the ice carefully before you venture out. Stay safe everyone!
