"Neighbors Night" Cancellation
The annual Nichols Fire Department “Neighbors Night” event traditionally held the Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving is unfortunately cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
This has been a difficult decision for the officers and members of the Nichols Fire Department however with Covid numbers increasing daily along with not having the required social distancing space available to accommodate the number of anticipated attendees the event will not be able to occur.
We anticipate this will be a one year hiatus and look forward to continuing the Neighbors Night tradition in November 2021.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the families of the Nichols Fire District. As a reminder with the winter months upon us the Nichols Fire Department asks to please be sure your smoke and CO detectors are operating correctly. Detectors save lives!
