Video on Demand: A History of the Missoula Fire Dept.

MCAT is establishing a new service on our web site – the ability to view programs with a click of your mouse when you want to see them. Our first test case is a History of the Missoula Fire Department made a few years ago by fire fighters Charlene Bachart and Ken Goodian.

If you are an artist applying for the next fire department building project, we hope you find inspiration. Everyone is invited to take a look. Let us know how your experience went by emailing mcat@mcat.org.

Follow these links to Channel 7 and Channel 11, or under the Video Streams item on the navigation bar above.
