THE TEAM

MEET YOUR TEAM OF FIREFIGHTERS AND MEDICAL FIRST RESPONDERS

Our team of over 30 volunteers includes the Chief, Deputy Chief, Officers, Active Members, Support Members, and Associate Members. We respond to emergencies, fires, and medical calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week—often leaving our families in the middle of the night to serve our community. In addition, there is also The District #4 Fire Commission, which is comprised of six members elected by the tax payers.
