Three of the four former and present paid chiefs were in attendance along with some former paid and volunteer firefighters. The department was organized in 1965 with all volunteers and has grown to eight full time manned stations throughout the years. The department also has a full time paramedic staffed truck to serve the residents of the community in case of a medical emergency. (Photo by David Rogers)
