The County Fire Department is completing its Strategic Plan which will address the quality-of-service within all the various County zones (along with internal department issues- training, recruiting, etc.). This plan will include the Fire Department’s consideration of a Gros Ventre Fire/EMS station. It is a key milestone in our Mission.
We have had meetings with Chief Moyer, his deputy, Brian Coe, and fire marshal, Ray Lane to keep our issue front and center. They have made us aware of the Fire Department’s budget constraints and difficulty in finding and hiring firefighters. We are awaiting the delivery of a draft of the strategic plan, originally scheduled for a mid-Maycompletion and expect it now in July 2025.
Once the plan is completed, Chief Moyer will request a joint meeting between the Town and County to present his plan. At that point there will be public meetings. It is imperative that our community engage in these public meetings to articulate what the impact of the lack of timely ems and fire service has cost us. With robust community engagement the elected officials will recognize the importance of our mission.
