Our Annual Report gives an overview of our activities and achievements during the previous year.

The career staff work a 24 hour shift every third day. Typically 7:30am through 7:30am the following morning. Volunteers supplement our staff at various times during the day and night. Our daytime employees work between 7:30am and 7:30pm depending on the position.

The crews must eat meals while on shift at the station, they sometimes gather food to cook. At times firefighters all eat the same meal, as a group. The crews pay for their food out of their own pockets. So, after the equipment is checked and the station duties completed, one of the fire trucks will then make a quick trip to the grocery store to purchase the food for the shift. All crews must remain in service to respond to calls during this time.

Your pets should be a part of your emergency preparedness plans. Arrangements should be made well ahead of the actual need for evacuation.

To report a fire, remain calm and provide the dispatcher with the following:

There are a number of specialized roles that Firefighters undertake at the scene of a fire and firefighting is a very labor-intensive activity. It is necessary to have enough Firefighters on the scene of an incident. If you get behind because there are not enough Firefighters on the call, it is more difficult to extinguish the fire quickly.

Yes, after assuring a safe evacuation! Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, invisible gas. CO Detectors are very sensitive and designed to alert occupants prior to CO reaching deadly levels. If your detectors go off, call the Fire Department and evacuate the home. Be sure to notify the Fire Department if anyone in the home is experiencing flu-like symptoms. The Fire Department has specialized equipment to detect and measure amounts of CO in your home. Please DO NOT open doors and windows before the Fire Department arrives, because this makes it difficult to determine the cause of any CO that may be present. Never hesitate to call us.

Firefighters ventilate (cut holes in a roof and break windows) to remove the elevated heat, smoke and toxic gases. This gives trapped residents a better chance to escape and improves conditions so that Firefighters can extinguish the fire.

The process of chopping holes in walls is necessary to expose hidden fires inside the walls.
