Student Update: No students for the summer. All night-time calls need a call force driver.
FF St. Germain will be returning in the fall. On June 2, Capt Duross and I will be attending the live-in draft to select one more student for next semester. Next year the plan is to host 2 students.

Sign Update: So the sign project is coming along. We found out from DOT that we had to be 33 feet from the center of Route 35. We were 6 feet too close. Capt Daniels and his trusty side-kick Jr FF Hunter dug out the hole, by shovel, to move the forms back six feet. That's dedication! On Monday, Dayton Sand will be here to pour the concrete.
