Josephine Volunteer Fire Department

This year has been a year for adding to our department. On Thursday, we purchased a fire/rescue boat from Lillian Fire Rescue. It’s been a purchase we have been needing for a while with the area of coast line we cover in our area. Also pictured, is one of our command trucks that was purchased back in April of this year from FDIC that Assistant Chief Schoetzow and Deputy Chief Montgomery were able to attend. This vehicle is equipped with various different tools for various different calls that we run and will also be used for the command post for calls in our area.

Yesterday, with the help from Orange Beach Fire and Rescue and Orange Beach Fire boat 2, put out a boat fire in spring branch/ palmetto creek area. Thankfully everyone got off safely and no one was hurt.

Thank you to the additional agencies Lillian Fire, Medstar, Alabama State Troopers, Baldwin County Ema and the Spring Branch neighborhood for helping.

Tanker Task Force - When initiated in our area, every department south of Interstate 10 gets dispatched and all available tankers go in route to the designated area.

Today, Tanker Task Force was initiated by Gulf Shores Fire and Rescue for a fire in the Gulf State Park. Our department and several others were on scene for the quickly spreading fire.

Even though we are our own departments, we are also one big family that helps when needed

🚨 Josephine Community, We need your help! 🚨

We recently discovered that someone has been syphoning fuel out of our responding vehicles that have been parked outside due to the county repaving our parking lot. It is an important thing for us to have our vehicles filled with fuel at all times to ensure we can respond to our calls as quick as we can. If anyone knows anything or saw anything, please reach out to our page.
