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”.
