Not every response is an emergency.

Engineer John Molitor and Firefighter Scott Proudfoot assist a stranded motorist on Hwy-68 by changing a flat tire. Chief Hewitt and Assistant Chief O’Donohue encourage their crews to stop and assist everyone throughout their day of emergency responses. “It’s another way we serve the citizens of Golden Valley” responded Chief Hewitt. Last week a crew gave a ride to an elderly female who had broke down, but were concerned if they received an emergency call what they would do. Chief O’Donohue reminded them “Emergency responses come first, and if along the way they get a fire call” he said with a chuckle: “Well, your passenger is going to a house fire”. Chief Hewitt added how proud we are of our service and the crews who perform it every day.
