The chiefs meeting on their day off. Every member of the department will have contributed their expertise to the building the new truck once it’s done. It’s one heck of a way to do team building.

This morning on 6/30/2026 the Republican Valley Task Force left for night shifts on a 48 hour deployment with Red Willow Western, Eustis, Red Cloud & Holbrook. The team is headed to the Log Road Fire.
This fire was last reported at 1,164.5 acres, tough terrain, in the last 24 hours they have reported moderate to high winds with low humidity.
Our thoughts are with everyone in state and nationally. The last few days dozens of fires have started and continue burning in state and nationally. Everyone stay safe and be fire wise.
