Congratulations to all of our members who passed their EMT test recently!
We remodeled the old downstairs meeting room and lounge. We have all new walls, an enclosed kitchen and bigger better bathrooms. These are just a few of the changes you'll see the next time you drop by. All work was being done by the department members to save money. Thanks to the many individuals and businesses who donated materials for the construction!!
Last but certainly not least, you will be seeing many fire and EMS personnel in new turnout gear. We have purchased new gear to give our Firemen and EMT's the best protection we can so they can perform their professional duties!
Your contributions at work!!
