How can you make a difference in your community and help others? Ask the Might 4-H'ers of Duette.

The story of "The Fire House the 4-H'ers Built" began in 1982 as a community service project of the Mighty 4-H'ers of Duette who petitioned the Division of Forestry for a brush truck for Duette.  On May 19, 2011 the department's humble beginnings and the Mighty 4-H'ers of Duette noble efforts were publicly acknowledged as the department moved into a modern fire house.  The Duette fire badge still contains a cloverleaf to commemorate the club's importance in the departments founding.
