Fire Department receives two donations, volunteers needed

The recent Christmas holiday once again showed the giving nature of local residents with two donations to the Whitehall Volunteer Fire Department.

Earlier this week, Reverend Tonya R. Whaley, a Pastor for the United Methodist Church presented a check to the department for $500.

Whaley who moved to the area in July said the donation was 100 percent of what was raised by parishioners at their Christmas Eve Service.

Whitehall Fire Chief Joe Granvold was very appreciative of the donation.

"This is very generous and thoughtful," he said.
