During our recent heavy snow it was discovered that multiple fire hydrants were buried in snow and not easily accessible by Cottonwood Fire Department. A request for assistance in shoveling out the hydrants was put out through social media.  Within hours multiple youth, and families, went out and began removing snow from the hydrants to assist the fire department. On Monday, February 19, several of the youth were recognized for their efforts.  Donations from Cottonwood Fire Department, Cottonwood Police Department, St Marys EMS and the Idaho County Coroner made it possible for each youth to receive a cash reward for volunteering their time and assisting with shoveling snow. The youth also had the opportunity to see the Fire Station and have a photo taken with Chief Greg Danly. Pictured are Vince and Forrest Poxleitner, Halsey Rowland, Brynlie Lockett, Charlee Key and Cottonwood Fire Chief Greg Danly.  Not shown is Taylor, Avery, Kennedy and Tenley Riener, Cooper Lockett and Eli Arnzen. Cottonwood Fire Department and the City of Cottonwood would like to thank the efforts of these youth.  Their efforts and desire to help their community is commendable!
