We have three categories of members: Active, Service, and Social.
Active Members are qualified to perform interior and/or exterior firefighting activities as well as non-firefighting activities.
Service Members are qualified to perform non-firefighting activities for the fire company.
Social Members were Active members for more than five (5) years and no longer wish to participate on a regular basis.
We have a Junior Firefighter program.
Junior Firefighters are members between the ages of 15 and 17 that participate in some activities.
We also have two other special recognitions for members: Life and Deceased.
Life Member was instituted in September 2004 to honor those members who served in an Active capacity for at least 30 years.
Deceased Member was instituted in the late 1950s to remember those members who have passed away.
