Valley City  (CSi)  Valley City Fire Chief Scott Magnuson is advising the public about a phone scam concerning raising funds for the fire department.

He says there are no phone or door to door monetary solicitations on behalf of the fire department.  Any such phone call is a scam, and people should hang up and report the call to police.

Magnuson adds, the fire department’s fundraising events are conducted at public facilities in Valley City.
