The charity Fire Chili Cook Off was completely organized by the Reverend Jack Dunn of the Christian Ministry of the Anglican Order and was hosted in the Pleasant Grove Fire Station. The participating fire departments were Pleasant Grove Fire Department, Lone Peak Fire District, American Fork Fire Department, and Lehi Fire Department. Lone Peak was the winner, having concocted the chili receiving the highest number of votes. They walked away with the traveling trophy and the opportunity to host the event next year in their fire station. This year's proceeds will go to a local women's shelter. Several hundred dollars were raised for them. Pleasant Grove fire fighters are proud to have participated and happy we could be part of this cause. This year Pleasant Grove Fire Department provided the EMS coverage for the rodeo and fire coverage for the fireworks. We also provided coverage for the carnival area. We had several calls for service at the rodeo and the carnival, as well as covering emergency calls for service city wide. The week of the Strawberry Days celebration is a very busy time for us. We added several additional paramedic firefighter personnel to our regular shift rosters, so we could provide the necessary emergency services in a timely manner within the varied and diverse venues. We placed two additional ambulances in service, three ATV response " f I :tV7 " ' ' . :.-- "t r i n 'Vv i tf ' I ' ' ; v 1 , r ! A- ' "' A member of the SWAT team runs the 5K.
