The KFD has had some changes with their Fire Chief, at this time Alan David is the Chief with Larry Wilkerson as Co-Chief. From on going talks with the Sherman Co Commissioners it appears that in the future the Kanorado, Brewster, and SHCO Rural Fire Departments will all be under one Fire Chief. With changing rules and regulations it is making it harder for small departments to handle all the paperwork involved. I'm not sure what all will change but it may make it easier for everyone to get their training etc. When I know more of the details I will post them to this page.
The following 4 calls is what the CAD has shown for KFD since the last updates. Thanks for being willing and able to help so many others in their time of need!

The KFD has had a quiet couple of months, although saying quiet is a dirty word in our business! Anyway looking in the CAD I see KFD had been called out 3 times since March 2nd for grassfires. One on 03-05-06 was located near county roads 67 and 9. Then next was on 03-07-06 at 222 Road 77. The third on 03-13-06 at Railroad and the Collingwood Office. Thank goodness all 3 were taken care of and put out by KFD before they became a major fire. States all around us have had a lot of trouble with out of control grassfires.

Things have been fairly quiet for the KFD since the first of the year. The one time they had to be called out for a grass fire near MM 3, I-70, it had to be in the middle of the night. The call interrupted several of the firefighter's sleep but they got to the fire soon enough to prevent it getting larger and becoming a major grass fire. Thanks Guys!
Thanks to Crissy going to one of the KFD meetings we now have some pictures to post showing Firefighters and equipment. Plus the KFD now has a new volunteer, Jake Conger. I will post the current list I have for the KFD volunteers at the end of this update.

I have not been successful yet in making contact with anyone willing to give updates for the
Kanorado Fire Department. Jerry Webber tried but he didn't think anyone was interested. So if
there is any Kanorado People reading this talk to your Fire Chief and say you'de like more of
your local info placed on this page.
In the mean time this article might be of interest to Firefighters, it contains audio parts of
firefighters working in the WTC 09/11/01 before the falling of the towers. The link takes you
to a New York Times Page. Scroll down to find the link to the Audios. This tape was found in the
rubble afterwards and showed that there had been workable communication between some of the firefighters.
They knew there was danger but were not aware that the whole place was going to fall. If interested
Click Here.
NOTE:Sorry this link no longer takes you to the page stated. You may be able to search the site to find it but this is not a direct link any longer.
There isn't an Update for the Kanorado Fire Department but you can find the Orginal Page by
clicking onto the Archives Button at the top of this page.
