Established in 1903

We are an All-volunteer department

Our members are your neighbors and have a long tradition of service in the community, both as first responders and through our leadership of the annual Memorial Day Picnic, open space clean-up days, fire safety education for our children, and several other services.

Our Membership

Our membership of over 40 trained, active firefighters responds whenever they are available to a wide variety of calls for assistance, including fires, smoke and CO alarm activation, motor vehicle accidents, downed power lines, flooded basements, rescues (including a cat in a tree in 2017), and other service calls. We also provide support to our neighboring towns’ fire departments whenever we receive a call for aid.
