You and your family are invited to the Goodhue Area Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department’s annual open house and fundraiser. It will be held at the Goodhue Fire Hall on Sunday October 13th from 11am to 2pm. Active department members will serve lunch and be available to answer any questions about the equipment and services provided to the Goodhue community and surrounding areas. There will be fire truck rides, check out the new fire engine and possible a visit from a rescue helicopter if their schedule and the weather permits.
The Goodhue Fire and Rescue Department provides services to the townships of Belle Creek, Belvidere, Chester, Featherstone, Goodhue, Hay Creek and Vasa in addition to the cities of Goodhue and Bellechester – an area of over 275 square miles. They are proud to provide firefighting, fire protection, medical first responder and motor vehicle accident response services to the residents of these communities. The members have responded to 153 medical and 60 fire calls in 2023 within the area they serve.
The department completed over 1,000 training hours in 2023 and 789 hours so far in 2024. This keeps the members up to date on the latest medical and firefighting practices, procedures and protocols so they can provide the best possible service to the residents of the communities they serve. They hope to see you Sunday October 13th at the Goodhue Fire Hall.
