The Tarkio Volunteer Fire Department appreciates all who donated to the fund drive this year. The department received $15,000, which has been put toward the purchase of a thermal imaging camera. Your donations are how the department stays well supplied with needed, quality fire-fighting and rescue equipment. Tarkio is very lucky to have such a large and strong  fire-fighting force that keeps their supplies up-to-date to be used at a moment’s notice.
