It’s time for the Central Grimes County, Anderson Volunteer Fire Department, to conduct their annual fund drive. This organization depends greatly on success of the drive. They presently operate nine different fire apparatuses used for various situations and currently have 13 active volunteers that serve our area. Thanks to the generous contributions received last year this organization was able to pay off the note on the pumper truck that was purchased in 2020 and attend more training. All funds collected this year will go towards more training and the purchase of a new booster truck which will help them serve our community better.
