Volunteer fire department in Santiam Canyon in jeopardy of closing

This week marks six months since fire tore through parts of Oregon and the Santiam Canyon. In many cities, including Detroit, charred debris is still visible.

But there is some good news for Detroit, where city leaders say just this week water is starting to get turned on and people are waiting to get their meters turned on as well. It's not drinkable or to be used for a shower, rather for things like flushing a toilet. It’s a start in the right direction.
Another step forward, plans are underway for a new community center in Detroit to replace the city hall that burned down. On Tuesday, the United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley donated $250,000 to the Detroit Lake Foundation.
But there's still a lot of work to be done and right now volunteer firefighters with the Idanha-Detroit Fire District are worried about the future.

Super sad for sure. We’ve been running our volunteer department in rural central Oregon with 3 volunteers for years.
