CHIEF'S LETTER

I am excited about the Junior Firefighter Program at the department. The advisors along with the members of the Woden Fire Department have done a super job of getting this program up and running. While this program is in its infancy, a super group of young people have joined with more coming every meeting. The current members and advisors are busy making plans for the upcoming year and discussing ways to make their organization even better.

When the department started the Junior Firefighter Program, I had high hopes for a successful program. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined just how great this program was going to be. A great group of young people are working to make this into an organization to be proud of.

To the members of the Woden Fire Department Junior Firefighter Program I would like to say that I am proud of you and to thank you for all of your hard work. If you haven't already figured it out, I'm excited about you and your organization. See you at your next meeting.
