Activities Recap and Winter Activities Planned

Seeley Lake Fire District

SEELEY LAKE – After a successful Flu Shot Clinic Dec. 11 and the Tree Lighting Ceremony Dec. 16, the Seeley Lake Rural Fire District is gearing up for more training and events this winter. The board also approved a three percent raise for District Administrator Lynn Richards and opened the maintenance position.

Fire Chief Michael Greer said that 25 people took advantage of the flu shots offered by the Missoula County Health Department. They also did four lead screenings at the clinic. Greer said they were interested in offering the service again next year and hope to get up here earlier in the season.

The tree lighting celebration was a huge success. Greer said that the department received $997 in cash and checks specifically for the event. Including donations of food, decorations and the lift time, Greer estimated there was $2,100 in donations.

The district will help with the Chamber Chill in February during the polar plunge event.

Greer was able to work with the Health Department to secure an air quality permit for the Christmas Tree Bonfire at the Filling Station. The bonfire will be held Jan. 26.
