911 Address Markers!
Now is a good time to improve your own safety, and at the same time benefit your Oglethorpe County Volunteer Fire Department. Order your bright green 911 address markers. These vivid green signs, placed next to your driveway, are what firefighters, first responders, EMS, and sheriff are able to spot the easiest and can mean critical seconds in being able to respond quickly to an emergency. As a fire engine driver, I can tell you that a lot of time can pass in trying to find an address without these reflective standards to look for, especially when it's late at night.
The markers are $20 each, if you install them yourself, or $25 each if you want your fire department to install them. They make great gifts, too.
For Wolfskin District, email Lisa, or call her at 706-207-5414 for more information.
Saturday evening was the Department's first Trick or Trunk. It was suggested by Lisa and it was advertized with a sign out front, a notice in The Oglethorpe Echo and of course in the 2010 Newsletter. Six of us dressed up to various extents and set up the engines and a few POVs by 6 pm. About 20-30 Trick or Trunkers came by, among them some old friends. Andy, a WVFD Firefighter on leave, also popped in for a few minutes!

Wolfskin VFD is a volunteer fire department in northeast Georgia, Oglethorpe County. We share responsibilities for protecting the county with 12 other VFDs.
Our business meetings are the first Thursday of the month at 7pm and our training sessions are each of the other Thursdays of the month, at 6:30pm.
We urge all who want to volunteer to join us. It's easy - contact any of the folks mentioned in this section or just drop by any Thursday evening. WVFD Station is located at 854 Wolfskin Road, about 2.5 miles from Belmont Road, or 4.1 miles from US 78.
We have a twice a week mailing list notifying of driver availability and upcoming training reminders. Contact Wayne if you wish to be added to this list.

Most "Trick or Trunk" photos are begging for humorous captions!

As noted by Glenn, there appears to be a hand creeping out of or into the bag next to the fire chief.
