The Tarkio Volunteer Fire Department held its 2020 election at the business meeting on Thursday, December 5, 2019, at the fire station.

The firemen greatly appreciate all the donations received this year for the Tarkio Volunteer Fire Department’s 13th annual fund drive. The department is now a public charity so your donations are 100% tax deductible on your federal income tax return. The 2019 fund drive is focused on raising money to equip the new fire trucks with the tools and equipment needed to make them fully functional while out on calls.
