Chimney Brush Loan Program
Hoodland Fire District residents can borrow chimney brushes from the Hoodland Fire District for FREE!
Please come by the Welches Main Station during business hours. We are located at 69634 E. Hwy 26, Welches, OR. There is no charge to borrow the brushes and 6' extention rods, we just ask that you bring the brush back as soon as you're safely finished, so that we can loan it out again.
