Have you ever wondered where your VOLUNTEER firefighters come from when there is an emergency?
Have you ever wondered what these VOLUNTEERS stop doing in a moments notice to run into harms way to help what may be a complete stranger?
Shown are just some of the many possible occupations our volunteers leave to help YOU in the time of need or what could be your worse day. Maybe YOU have an opportunity to help. Take a chance and join your local VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
Our members come from a variety of different backgrounds. We are always seeking new membership! Firefighters, traffic control, truck operators, scene support. There is a job for you!

With very cold temperatures in the forecast, we’re urging all residents to be prepared and protect your water lines!

💧 Tips to Prevent Frozen Pipes:

Let faucets drip—keeping water flowing prevents it from freezing in your service lines.

Don’t forget outdoor faucets—cover and insulate them if possible.

Check other structures—barns, sheds, and any buildings with water service need the same precautions.

💡 A dripping faucet is a small price to pay to avoid costly repairs and interrupted water service.

It's very important to know where your water meter or shutoff valve is incase you have a water line bust.

Stay safe and warm,
