We have a roster of 45 dedicated members and 5 juniors. We meet twice a week for drills (Sunday am) and work nights (Wednesday pm). We are blessed to have a 5 member Board of Fire Commissioners who serve the district with integrity, fiscal responsiveness and who take pride in the department they serve. We also enjoy the many visiting firefighters who stop at the station for a visit. We have had them stop in from Germany, England, Canada and virtually every state of the union. We also pride ourselves in the fact that our local citizens stop in and support us in our many fund raisers. Our station doors our always wide open. A Fire Chief could not ask for a better group of volunteers who put their differences and egos aside when they enter the fire station doors.
