At the present time we operate an Engine Company, Truck Company and Water Supply Special Unit, as well as an Emergency Medical Services staff.  Please continue your tour of our web page, see how we work, respond and train.

Member of the Month

Ginger Henderson  

This "Little Dynamo" is always in action somewhere within the activities of the Department.  She currently serves as the Training Officer, active EMT, Ladies Auxiliary member, Christmas Party co-planner and the list continues. She even finds time to manage a full time job and stay extroverted too! Ginger worked with our Seventy Fifth Anniversary Committee in a number of support functions and helped make that event an enjoyable and memorable occasion for the many folks who attended. Commitment is one of her strongest character traits and many things would still be waiting to get done, were Ginger not there to get-er done!  "Thanks" is an often used word to express appreciation.  In regard to Ginger, it can't express enough. Come visit us and meet our Volunteers, like Ginger, and see how you can help the Community. There is no greater feeling of pride than knowing you are there when people need help.
