The Hewitt City Council recorded that the Hewitt Fire Department is planning a training day on April 26, 2026, weather and wind permitting, that will include firefighters from the Bertha and Eagle Bend departments and will involve burning a vacant structure in Hewitt as part of training exercises.
The council’s minutes, read at the April 14 meeting, said the department has had a high number of calls this month and that the auxiliary is sponsoring a Firefighter of the Month recognition.
