SILVER CREEK — After a major fire broke out early Sunday morning at Tri-County Country Club, the Silver Creek Fire Department was one of many departments to respond. The department’s efforts gained the village’s attention, as Mayor Jeff Hornburg singled out volunteers at a recent Village Board meeting.
“I want to commend both the Fire Department and the EMS Squad. (Sunday) there was a big fire at Tri-County. I appreciate all they did, and every other company from the area that went up there. I think everybody from North Collins to Fredonia was there,” Hornburg said. “I appreciate all they did there.”
Village Trustee Marv Cummings added that the Silver Creek Fire Department also recently responded to a mutual aid call for a major fire in Angola. “Hats go off to them for the hard work they have been putting in. There were a couple large mutual aid fires, with one in Angola and the one at Tri-County,” Cummings said. “Those guys and gals are keeping busy.”
Village Trustee Sandra Lindstrom added, “Angola was very grateful for the fire company coming with the ladder truck.”
Hornburg also noted that the department received four emergency calls just last Sunday, aside from the Tri-County Country Club mutual aid call.

Forestville Fire Department reported two firefighters were treated for minor burns. One was taken to a hospital while the other was treated on the scene.
The Village Board also approved the application of Eva Tytka as a member of the Silver Creek Emergency Squad. Village Trustee Kathy Tampio offered her thanks to Tytka for serving the community.
The village will work to address a collapsed water and sewer pipe at the Department of Public Works building. The cost to address the issue is estimated at $13,000, which Hornburg authorized.
The village also authorized renewal agreements with NOCO for natural gas and electric at variable rates over the next 18 months; and July 3 was reserved as a date for the village’s annual fireworks display.
The next mobile food pantry event is Oct. 24 at 11 a.m. in the Village Municipal Building parking lot. Halloween Trick-or-Treat hours were set for 5-8 p.m. on Oct. 31.
