GREAT FALLS — Cascade County Commissioners are asking the public to get more involved.
They’re looking for more non-firefighters to fill positions on the Board of Trustees for Cascade County volunteer fire departments.
As a board member you help make decisions for budgets and policies.
Commissioner Jane Weber says when a firefighter serves on the board, they are essentially overseeing their boss and department: “You can see where they are in a supervisory role, when they are on the Board of Trustees, but when they go out on a incident they are subordinate to the chief, that in itself can create a conflict of interest."

Completed applications must be turned in to the County Commission Office, Room 111 Courthouse Annex, 325 2nd Avenue North. If you have any questions, call the Commission Office 406-454-6810.
