About Me:
I'm a 1985 graduate of Stillwater High School, Stillwater, Minnesota. Married to my high school sweet heart. We've been together for 23 years, been married for 15 and a half years. I have 4 children. I am currently a Hudson fire fighter and in charge of the Hudson Explorer Program. I am a certified fire fighter. I attended WITC technical college. for fire fighter 1 & 2. I have a hazmat opperations and first responder. I am looking into taking a bachelors degree in fire science. I own two businesses; a preschool and "Don Can Do It" handy man. Hudson Fire - History Hudson Fire Dept was formed in 1873. The "Great Fire" of 1866 led the community to think about having a better organized and larger department. In 1872 there were several fires that sealed the deal to get an official fire department. On April 3, 1873, the Hudson Fire Department was created. In 1914, the Hudson Fire Department published a small booklet of its activities. Sinse then, the structure of the department has not changed. Until 1977, several methods of alerting fire fighters were used including ringing a bell, and sounding a siren. Each method only had limited results in alerting the fire fighters outside of town. Now all fire fighters have a pager, allowing them to travel greater distances and still receive information about a call. Currently the department has 40 members-all volunteer. The only full time employee is the fire inspector. The department currently responds to 400 calls per year, and that number is growing. All members must be state certified before being voted onto the department. The department currently has 3 engines, one 95 foot ladder truck, 2 tankers, 2 brush trucks, 1 suburban, 1 mini pumper for hazmat/decon and 2 zodiac boats for water rescue. Some of the department's traditions include: participating in local parades; water fights; community education.
