COTTONWOOD: The volunteer members of Cottonwood Rescue and Cottonwood Volunteer Fire Chief Randy Hall saw a great surprise on the Cottonwood Fire Department building today.
Members of the community placed signs and posters on the windows and doors with comments ” GOD has blessed us with a great fire department”, “We appreciate our fireman”, “We love our Fire Department! You are Appreciated”. and many more.
Cottonwood Volunteer Fire Department is under the leadership of Volunteer Fire Chief Randy Hall. He works full time and in addition he and his son, Trenton, along with a host of other dedicated volunteers serve their commmunity.
When the tornado struck Cottonwood, Chief Hall left his full time job, AAA Cooper Transportation, and stayed around the clock all week making sure everyone was cared for. Now Chief Hall will be the first to tell you he did not do it alone. It was the members of the department and a host of other volunteers and agencies that worked around the clock. But Chief Hall would not go home. He was raised in Cottonwood and knows the people and community. And he was not going to rest until everyone that could be helped was helped.
The Cottonwood Volunteer Fire Station was destroyed in the tornado. They have rebuilt the station to better serve the community in times of need.
HATS OFF to all of the men and women who volunteer to serve others in order to save lives and property. Each and everyone of you are very much apperciated for all you do. And THANKS to Chief Hall for all he does, and his lovely wife who let’s him!
