All Hail the Firefighters Ketchum Fire Department Senior Lt. Tom McLean leads a group of future firefighters working a hose aimed at a dangling ball during the annual Fire Services Appreciation Day, held Saturday at Festival Field in Sun Valley. More than 300 people turned out for the event. Forty-five participating firefighters from the Ketchum and Sun Valley fire departments treated the crowd to a vehicle extraction demonstration, a high-angle rope rescue demonstration and an inter-departmental tug-of-war.
