Upcoming Training Notice – June 20, 2025
On Friday, June 20, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the Frenchtown Rural Fire District will be conducting a joint training exercise in collaboration with Two Bear Air Rescue and LifeFlight Network.

We appreciate the community’s understanding and support as we continue to train for safe and effective emergency response.
