Thanks to everyone who came out and again made the 2019 North Westside Fire Rescue BBQ Fundraiser a tremendous success with more than $18,000 raised. The winner of the 50/50 donated half his winnings back to the Firefighters Society. Thanks as well to La Casa Cottage Resort, Cliff from the Cantina and of course the entire community and firefighter family!  Go North Westside Fire Rescue!
