VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Residents are receiving scam calls soliciting money for the Valley City Fire Department.

Fire Chief Scott Magnuson said no one from the department calls or goes door to door asking for money. He said the phone call is a scam and he’s advising people to hang up and report it to the police department.

Magnuson said our fundraising events are held at public facilities in Valley City and we do not ask for money over the phone.
