What is a volunteer firefighter?

Someone just like you, willing to volunteer a portion of their time to their community. They may be retired, work full time and respond nights and weekends, be self-employed, or be a student gaining experience for a future career. Some are chasing a childhood dream, some want to give back, and some want to make friends and learn new skills. The reasons vary, but the spirit is the same.

Over the years our services have grown and become widely respected, which has dramatically increased our call volume. As a small community, our funding depends on the creativity and hard work of our membership. We need your help.
