Breakfast with the Fire Chief

Golden Valley Fire Chief Thomas O’Donohue will be at the El Rancho Café located at 4248 Hwy-68 on Monday May 6th at 7:00 a.m. to meet with patrons for about an hour. The idea came to O’Donohue when he and Fire Marshal Randy Osborn were having breakfast last week and began entertaining questions from those in the restaurant. “Before we knew it, the place went quite to hear both the questions and answers” O’Donohue said. It dawned on O’Donohue & Osborn that this may be the perfect venue to connect to the community in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying breakfast. O’Donohue says he has tentatively agreed to hold the “Breakfast with the Fire Chief” every first Monday of the next few months to see if it gains a following. If it does, those dining will have an opportunity to interact outside of the monthly Board meetings which are held the third Wednesday at the Golden Valley Fire Public Safety Center at 423 S. Colorado. O’Donohue added: “I’m willing to meet with any community group who calls the office and schedules time for me”.
