Pierce News…

Mayor Greg Gerot of The City of Pierce would like to recognize and thank Jonathan Syed, Hunter Skiles, and Matt Blanchard for their volunteer help in digging out a number of fire hydrants. The city crew dug out the majority of The Pines, but could not get to the lower part of town. Thank you guys for helping to make Pierce a safer place! The winter time brings many challenges for the City of Pierce and volunteers are needed to join in when the snow covers the fire hydrant near their home or business to dig it out, keep it dug out, and make your neighborhood more fire ready.
