Our Vision Statement:
We strive to be the best, we have a commitment to our Family and Community, and to make things better.
Responsibilities:
The department continues to pride itself on providing very cost effective services while assuring that the level of service is never below the expectations of the community. As the department continues to plan for the future, the community can expect continuous expansion of the services that are offered to the citizens.
The present goals will guide the department towards the ability to provide:
- Ambulance transport for the residents.
- Increased working relationships with neighboring communities.
- Additional home healthcare services delivered to patients confined to their homes.
Today, the department continues to operate a combination department with 28 career personnel and many volunteers, which makeup three divisions. The Operations Division is balanced in three platoons of firefighters that work shift work of on-duty for 24 hours and then off-duty for 48 hours. The three platoons staff two stations and respond to emergency and non-emergency request for service calls. The Life Safety Division is comprised of the fire marshal, who coordinates the fire prevention aspect of the fire service.
