We only cover an area of 9.78 square miles. Our area is vastly rural with sparse residential structures and a few commercial buildings. Most of our land is wooded area. The fact that many of these wooded areas have been designated conservatoriums or have been “placed” in a timber status property. we are still required to respond into it for brush fires, search, and rescues. Most of the lands have trails through them that are frequented with hikers who can become lost and/or injured. We have some specialized rescue equipment, such as the Amkus rescue tools and High Angle rescue equipment. This equipment is on our service truck.

We are actively pursuing our Technical Rescue rating for all of firefighters along with their FF status. We are having new members join randomly and some are retiring, so our numbers are remaining steady.
