Marion County has fine firefighters

In recent weeks, a fine group of Marion County firefighters, including departments from Hillsboro, Marion, Durham, Lost Springs, Lehigh, Peabody, carried out a two-day practice exercise with the old house on our property southeast of Hillsboro.

A couple of weeks later, when the wind cooperated, Ben Steketee and the HillsĀ­boro crew burned the house down, also as planned. These processes were done very professionally and with utmost concern for safety.

We have realized more than ever before what a very fine group of firefighters we have in our county. We are blessed!

Our most since thanks to each of you firefighters, and may God bless you and your families.
