Eagles Club donates to Sheyenne Fire Department

Dillon Hewitt of the New Rockford Eagles Club presented a check to Sheyenne Fire Chief Elvis Thumb last week.

The $5,000 donation will be used towards the construction of a 28-by-60 foot addition to the Sheyenne Fire Hall, an endeavor that will basically double the current size of the structure.

"We've been fortunate to be able to upgrade equipment through the years and need the room to help store it all," Thumb said in a message to the "Transcript" Thursday morning.

Construction will begin in the spring.
