Speaking of Gering, there will be scheduled power outages on Friday for addresses on Sentinel Circle and Lariat Loop. Please be aware those outages may occur between 9 and noon Friday. At 2.37pm yesterday, Gering fire was called out to a possible structure fire on Q Street. Scanner traffic indicated a fire near a dog kennel and that a male needed attention for possible smoke inhalation. Ambulances arrived and were cleared from the scene with no patient transport. The Gering Fire Department was assisted by Scottsbluff Fire. Everyone seems to know someone who has suffered a devastating house fire. How many personally know the volunteer firefighters who respond in those moments of greatest need? In small rural areas like Bridgeport, volunteer fire departments are the backbone of our communities. In a message from Fire Chief Casey Sides, the Bridgeport Volunteer Fire Department is holding a meeting at the Fire Hall on February 11 at 6 pm for anyone interested in more information about becoming a volunteer firefighter.  Around 6 pm, a 10-44 or non-injury accident was reported. This was a single vehicle rollover off of Reddington Road. Amazingly, there were no injuries in this rollover accident. Remember that giant concert out at 5 rocks each year called Horizon Fest?
