The Aumsville Rural Fire District has a firefighter that needs your help. Ryan Bishop has committed forty (40) years of service to the Aumsville Fire District and to the Aumsville Community. He joined the Fire Service in 1970, volunteering for Corvallis Fire while attending college. Ryan started his volunteer career with Aumsville Fire District in 1972. He worked his way through the ranks to Division Chief.
Ryan Bishop suffered an aneurism on Friday, November 23. An aneurism is not a predicable illness and most people do not survive. Ryan is currently at OHSU in a coma. He has been the volunteer firefighter who answers the call in the middle of the night, at weekends and during the holidays. He responded to a neighbor’s house one day prior to his illness. You will know Ryan Bishop if you attend our Annual Turkey Shoot. He has been calling the winning numbers for years.
We are seeking help for Ryan Bishop and his family. He is a self-employed farmer without health insurance. As a result of his illness the family farm will close. His son, who is also a volunteer firefighter, is now looking for work.
Ryan, who is 62, is facing a difficult recovery both physically and financially. He will be unable to work following his recovery. The family needs any assistance you may be able to provide to help with their expenses. The Aumsville Fire District has set up an account at Riverview Community Bank in Aumsville under the name of Ryan Bishop. We thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer to this family.
The Aumsville Fire District is having a spaghetti feed fund raiser on December 15th. The event will start at 12:00 noon and run through 8:00 p.m. with a silent auction throughout the day.
Aumsville Fire will be accepting items to place in the silent auction if you are unable to donate or attend the fund raiser.
Location will be 490 Church St. Aumsville Oregon
