The department consists of 4 engines, 1 Heavy rescue truck, 1 tower ladder , 1 ambulance, 1 first responder, and a brush truck. All are fully equipped, and State Certified.
We are an all volunteer organization. Firefighters and Emergency Technicians receive no compensation for the hours devoted to the protection of our neighbors' life and property.
We would like to thank our community for it's generosity and are looking forward to your continued support. It has been a critical component of our 86 year tradition.
