Department says thanks for Fire Prevention Week

The city of Whitefish Fire Department would like to say thank you to all who made Fire Prevention Week 2017 a great success. This year’s theme was “Every second counts, plan two ways out.” Between trips to schools and firehouse tours, our firefighters were able to teach over a thousand students about fire safety. Thank you to the schools and teachers for their cooperation.

The week was completed with our annual Whitefish Emergency Services building open house. Hundreds came to visit that day and we would like to extend a special thank you to the agencies who participated including the Whitefish Police Department, ALERT Air Ambulance, Two Bear Air Rescue, Flathead County Sheriff’s Department, Montana Highway Patrol, Kalispell Police Department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Columbia Falls Fire Department, Montana DNRC, Flathead Fire Safe Council, US Forest Service, Flathead 911 Center, Firewise Montana, Flathead County Search and Rescue, Montana Operation Lifesaver, Flathead Nordic Backcountry Patrol, North Valley Hospital, Sinopah Face Painting and Sweet Peaks ice cream.

Thank you to all of the above and to this wonderful community for all of your support. We look forward to seeing you again next year.
