In the event of a fire or emergency, 911 will page the volunteers. Response time is less than 10 minutes.

In addition to the primary firefighting duties, the Fire Department is active as a service organization, monitoring community bonfire events and taking Santa around town to give out candy and presents at the annual community Christmas party.

The Fire Department also works to raise public awareness with an active Fire Prevention Program and raise money for Muscular Dystrophy year-round.
