The department is 79 years old and all volunteer with the exception of the
District staff which includes the Fire Chief, Fire Marshall, Training
Officer, and Administrative Assistant. We test two times a year, once in
March, and in September. Currently we have approximately 100 volunteers, and
hope to grow to above 120 by the end of this year. All new recruits are
required to run a total of 36 shift hours a month.
