This week we would like to give a shout out to the local volunteer firemen. No matter the time or the weather, when the whistle blows they move into action to protect their district. The Lake Andes fire department has already been busy in the first couple weeks of the new year. They responded to a grass fire Southeast of Lake Andes on January 5th, with below zero wind chill. In negative temperatures the water doesn’t flow very good, but they got the job done. Thank you to all our area volunteer firemen for your service. Courtesy photo.
