Thran's Flowers and Lake Valley Fire give 10 families a Christmas tree

Ten local families will have a merrier Christmas after Lake Valley Fire Protection District (LVFPD), with the help of Katie Long of Thran's Flowers, made sure they had a decorated tree set up in their homes.

Captain Chuck Malone and Firefighter/Paramedic Dusty LaChapelle delivered the trees and, according to LVFPD, were delighted to help deliver and were overjoyed to see the smiles on the faces of the families that received the trees.

Thran's Flowers donated the trees, stands, lights and ornaments.

"Christmas is a truly magical time of year and we are so fortunate to live in a community where helping your neighbor is still a way of life. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year," said the Lake Valley Fire Protection District in a press release.
