past Asst.
Chief dean risse |
 May
15th,
2012 - It is
with very heavy hearts & deep regret that the Silver Creek Fire
Department must announce the passing of past Assistant Chief Dean Risse.
Assistant Chief Risse passed away from injuries he sustained while
performing heroic efforts at a duplex fire near his home on Saturday
evening. Assistant Chief Risse was a member of a long line of Risse
firefighters. As he and his family have for years, Dean put the safety &
well being of others before himself. Today we lose a member of our
community & family whom we can all admire; someone who we respect, &
someone who we've had the honor to have known. Please keep the Risse
Family in your thoughts and prayers as they cope with the difficult
time. A full obituary & funeral details will be posted as details become
available. |

 May
7th,
2012 - Thank
you to the Magellan corporation for donating GPS units to outfit our
fire trucks. The GPS units will assist our department greatly when our
department is called to assist other communities, some more than 30
minutes away, during an emergency. It's through the help of gracious
donors, such as Magellan, that make our jobs just a little bit easier.
Thank you Magellan! |

53RD
CHICKEN BARBECUE - thank you |
 May
6th,
2012 -
Some rain & stormy weather didn't keep
crowds of hungry fire department supporters away from the 53rd Annual
Chicken Barbecue. It was another successful year with over 1,200 chicken
dinners being sold. Thank you to all those that not only enjoyed the
food, but also to the many community friends who lent a hand, donated
food, & supplies. A successful team is one that comes through for each
other during a time of need. The help our volunteer fire department
receives from the community during events such as the Chicken BBQ makes
us better prepared for when our community needs help from us. Thank you
for all your support! |
