Hands on the line
Fire police & traffic safety
Keep scenes, roads, and neighbors safe while the crew works. A vital role that does not require the fireground.
Scene support
Support & fundraising
Every crew needs hands off the fireground: logistics, outreach, and the events that keep a volunteer company going.
Behind the crew

Small steps that help us help you
When seconds count, a few things done ahead of time make a real difference for the crew and for your family. General fire-safety basics, no gear required.
Smoke alarms
Test them monthly
Working smoke alarms on every level and in sleeping areas. Swap the batteries when you change your clocks.
Address markers
Make your number visible
Clear, reflective house numbers from the road help responders find you fast, day or night, on rural lots.
Home plan
Know two ways out
Plan two exits from every room and a spot to meet outside. Practice it once with everyone in the house.
When it is an emergency, do not wait.
Call 9-1-1 first, then keep clear and let the crew work.
Reach the company
