In the drill night on 22 sept 2025, members of the department practiced drafting and pump operations at Crestwood Lake. Drafting is a vital skill for pump operators, especially in surrounding towns where hydrants are not always available.
The department continues to welcome new members who want to make a difference in their community. Drills are held Thursday nights, offering a firsthand look at what volunteer service is all about.
As a 100% volunteer organization, the department depends on community members to step up—they need you!
