We don’t always get the opportunity to post all we do as volunteers!

Station 65 had a very busy weekend

From a Structure Fire at 12:29am Saturday morning
To a few different medical emergencies only hours apart
To a Car accident
We were even able to attend a community Saturday as well!

Sunday was just as busy starting with a wildfire
A medical not long after
A car accident
And An alarms

When your Volunteers at 65 aren’t on scene, we are back at the station covering this helps ensure uninterrupted fire coverage for our community at all times.

We're incredibly proud of our members for answering the call time and time again, especially while working hard in extreme heat. Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to serving our community.
