Kelso Rotary welcomed Longview Fire Chief Brad Hannig as our guest speaker this week for an engaging and informative presentation on the Longview Fire Department and the proposed levy lift.
Chief Hannig provided an overview of the department's operations, highlighting the wide range of services firefighters and emergency medical personnel provide each day to keep our community safe. He also discussed the growing demands placed on emergency services and the challenges departments face as they work to meet the needs of a growing community.
Members appreciated learning more about the proposed levy lift and how it could help support the resources, staffing, equipment, and emergency response capabilities that residents rely on. The presentation offered valuable insight into the importance of planning for the future while maintaining the high level of service our community has come to expect.
Following the presentation, Rotarians had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in a thoughtful discussion about public safety and the evolving needs of emergency services.
We extend our sincere thanks to Chief Hannig for taking the time to visit our club and share his expertise. Programs like these help keep our members informed about important issues affecting our community and strengthen our understanding of the organizations that serve the Longview and Kelso area every day.
