DEPARTMENT NEWS

The Woden Fire Department is now on Facebook. Become a fan and keep up with the latest department news.

After another successful year the department presented several awards at the department's annual Christmas Banquet. Jr. Firefighter of the Year was Crystal Jones, 1'st Responder of the Year went to Melissa Jones, and Firefighter of the Year was Ricky Rodriguez.

The Woden Fire Department is an active member of the SFFMA training program and is actively working to have all of our firefighters certified to at least the basic level. The department trains every Monday night except the Monday of the Monthly business meeting. The department also trains at least one Saturday each month.

CHIEF'S LETTER

I am proud to say that 2010 has started out great for the Woden Fire Department. I am proud of each member of the Woden Fire Department. The dedication that they show towards the department and the communities that we serve goes above and beyond what is expected of them. Their dedication towards training and to improving the department has been tremendous. Each member has taken upon theirself the task of making the department the best that it can be. While their dedication is visible to the public during calls, they spend many hours behind the scenes doing work for the department. I would like to commend each of them for their hard work and sacrifices that they have made to help the Woden Fire Department.

I would also like to commend the members of the Jr. Firefighter program for their efforts in making the program a success for the department. I would like to tell each of them that I am proud of you and that I have high hopes for the upcoming year. While many challenges still face the program, I believe that 2010 will prove to be a great year for the program.

Let me conclude by saying a big thank you to everyone, to the firemen and 1'st responders for your hard work and dedication, to the Jr. Firefighters for your help and support to the department, and to the people of the communities that we serve for your loyal support.
