Turtleford’s Firefighter’s Ball was a success

The 10th annual Firefighter’s ball in Turtleford was a huge success in the community, with over 200 people coming out to celebrate. The ball is how the fire department in Turtleford raises money for equipment.

“We don’t have a confirmed number yet because we’re still returning stuff, but it will be in the $12-15 thousand range,” says Fire Chief Brent Edwards.
