 MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is a straightforward one:   We have come together to protect the citizens of our community and to save lives and property.   We take this responsibility very seriously. 

Approximately 350 calls a year come in for us to handle.   Our chosen assignments take many forms above and beyond the obvious task of fighting fires.   Listed here are just a few of the additional duties we undertake:

•   Securing crime and accident scenes for the police and Sheriff
•   Directing traffic in emergencies
•   Administering basic victim care until the EMT's arrive
•   Aiding law enforcement in drug busts when requested
•   Assisting authorities in an array of security procedures
•   Conducting missing persons searches
•   Checking on the elderly and shut-ins after natural disasters
•   Assisting those in medical need - haul water, deliver oxygen, etc.
•   Cutting down fallen trees that are blocking access
•   Jumping car batteries
      ... and even rescuing cats out of trees!
            ... and much more!
