KELSEYVILLE – Employees of the Kelseyville Fire Protection District invite the community to help them support our troops.

The Kelseyville Fire Station has become the newest “drop zone” and is hosting a barrel for donations to Operation Tango Mike.

During a discussion about an upcoming gift exchange, the spirit of giving and the holidays, the employees decided they wanted to support Operation Tango Mike and our troops far from home this Christmas.

In fact, one employee asked that in lieu of a gift, the person drawing her name should donate to the local troop support effort.

Chief Mike Stone said he and his crew are proud to host the donation barrel and hope people will be generous this holiday season.
