Editor,
Members of the Polson Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend their appreciation and thanks to the PVFD Auxiliary for all their time and effort in hosting the Firefighters Appreciation Ball held on March 15 at the KwaTaqNuk Resort in Polson. The annual event is held to honor and show support of all the volunteers in the fire department. As such, many individuals and businesses donate items for a silent auction as well as attend the dinner and awards. During last week’s meeting at the fire department, the Auxiliary presented a check for $11,000 to the PVFD membership and asked that it be used for personal protective equipment. This money was raised by the Auxiliary through donations to the Ball over the past several years. The generosity of the donations is well appreciated by the department and will be used in furtherance of protecting the firefighters in serving the public.
In addition, the Auxiliary is looking for additional members. Anyone wishing to become involved in helping out and supporting the fire department should contact Fire Chief John Fairchild at (406) 883-8220.
