A special project was started this past year by me that established a committee to raise donations of$20,000.00 to purchase a Thermal Imager for use by the Fire Department. Thanks to people like the Chamber of Commerce, Eagles, Tri-City Legion, Lions, John Allen ofIndustrial Equities all donating $3000.00 and the remainder from other businesses and individuals we now have this piece of equipment ready to use in your homes. This Thermal Imager will enable the Fire Dept to "see" through the black smoke and fight fires more effectively and safely. Thanks again NB for accepting the challenge and coming through. I would like to say goodbye to some special people that had an impact on NB. We lost 2 past Fire Chiefs: Jerry Frieden and Eugene "EZ" Zamor , former Mayor Gayle Bromander and long time Planning Commission member Mike Livingston.
