Firefighter's honored at FGF&R Awards and Appreciation Banquet

Last Friday we took a moment to honor the hard work of our firefighters and the sacrificies of their families in service to the community in 2010 - over 130 people, including retired firefighters, City Councilors, and Rural Fire District Directors - gathered at the Forest Grove Armory to recognize their own during our annual awards and appreciation dinner. The casual event with a "Wild West" theme and barbecue dinner allowed us to not only give recognition to our people, but it brought together our past and present as families mingled, stories were shared, and laughs were heard around the room throughout the evening.
