To finish the article on<br />
Bright Fire & EMS, years<br />
ago a sign hung on the Fire &<br />
EMS bulletin board that read,<br />
“Working Together Benefits<br />
Everyone.” PLEASE keep<br />
this motto in mind as we approach<br />
the Bright Fire & EMS<br />
festival July 23-24. Let’s<br />
work together as a community<br />
to support the festival as<br />
it benefits our Fire and EMS<br />
who in turn supports us in our<br />
time of need. THANK YOU<br />
to the men and women of our<br />
Bright Fire and EMS.<br />
