Interested in becoming a member? Although the fire company has been fortunate in having such a dedicated team of volunteers, we are always in need of more volunteers to take the strain off those who put so much effort and time into protecting our community.

We would like to invite you to the station any

Monday night between 6:30 and 9:00 pm to tour our station and see what we have to offer. We are always in need of:

- Interior/Exterior Firefighters,

- Apparatus/Pump Drivers,

- Fire Police,

- EMT's,

and Associate Members.

As an Associate member , we always welcome those who may be able to assist with snow removal around the station during the winter, lawn care in the summer months, those who would like to assist at our fundraisers and those who have special skills.

Fire Prevention Week October 8th-14th 2017

Thursday, September 28th, 2017

In a fire, seconds count. Seconds can mean the difference between residents of our community escaping safely from a fire or having their lives end in tragedy.That’s why this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme: “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” is so important.

Is your house number visible?

Across the country, Fire,EMS and Police emergency responses are delayed as they are unable to locate the correct address. When someone calls 911 for an emergency, emergency responders are dispatched to that address, for example "Perth fire respond to 1234 Main Street".
