We Belong to These Organizations:

The fire company was originally housed on the farm of one of the Life members. It was at that location from 1963, the year the fire company was incorporated, to 1972. The present station was originally constructed in 1972 and has gone through many renovations since that time.

The station downstairs houses firefighting apparatus, a radio room and a rental hall. Upstairs is an office with several computer workstations, and a large conference/training room, and a members' room. The members' room contains a living area, pool table, and workout room. The workout room features free weights, aerobic machines, and other workout equipment.
