Sergeant Joe Zerwas, left. Sheriff Dan Starry, right. The Hugo Fire and Rescue team is always ready and prepared to serve its community. While the pandemic has created some challenges, the team continues to train and uphold their skills. In order to keep our firefighters safe, we train in small groups of less than ten and wear our masks. Check out some training pics with the ladder truck from summer! Fire Chief Kevin Colvard can be reached at: kcolvard@ci.hugo.mn.us Smoke/CO Detectors Please be mindful to change your smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries. A good way to remember this is to check your expiration dates and batteries ev- ery time you change your clocks for daylight savings! Please remember that detectors have a shelf life of eight to ten years and NEED to be replaced. Washington . County Welcome to Hugo! At the beginning of 2020 we saw a few changes to those serving Hugo. We were sad to say goodbye to Sergeant Joe Stoehr, who has a new position as General Investigations Sergeant with Washington County. However, filling his place, we are happy to have Joe Zerwas as the new Sergeant for the City of Hugo. We are also excited to welcome Lee Mars as the new Hugo Detective and Deputy Shawn Irvin to the City of Hugo. Upcoming Changes Deputy Kelly Olson will be leaving Hugo as a contract deputy and transitioning to Mahtomedi School Resource Officer. Deputy Olson will be a huge loss to the citizens of Hugo as she is very passionate about public relations with the community and worked as a DARE instructor for the Oneka Elementary School. Deputy Irvin will be the new DARE instructor for Oneka Elementary starting in 2021. We are happy to welcome Deputy Zach Boesel to the Hugo team. Deputy Boesel grew up on the north end of Washington County and is excited to work locally. DeputyZach Boesel, left. Deputy Kelly Olson, right.
