GLENDO – The Glendo Volunteer Fire Department (GVFD) is celebrating Fire Prevention Month with a Chili Cook-off and silent auction on Oct. 26 at the Glendo Fire Hall at 6 p.m. There will be fire truck tours for kids, great food, and more.
While the event promises to offer a good time for the community, it is not just about the chili, cornbread, and desserts The department is struggling with adequate funds to maintain their current level of service. The City of Glendo supports the department, but unfortunately the budget is not enough to replace broken or out-dated equipment and definitely not enough to purchase a new $300,000 quick response rescue and medical vehicle to decrease initial response time for out-of-town calls.
