Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: Philomath Fire and Rescue surpassed 1,000 calls in a single year in 2023 and we take a look at the operation. Also, the family of Denny Nusbaum, who passed away in December, sent us an obituary to be published. We also have results from wrestling over the weekend, the latest Police Log and Fire Calls and a few briefs on upcoming local government meetings.

Thanks for reading!
