Come on out!

03/16/2026

Thanks to grants acquired through TFS and community donations, our department had the privilege of getting new Scott 4500psi Air packs. This is a big step for our department to be able to swap out from our original 2200psi Air packs. These new SCBAs will give us the ability to be inside structures longer and safer to work on extinguishing fires.
We were also privileged to get a new Hurst StrongArm. This will allow us to make entry into vehicles as well as structures we otherwise would not be able to.
We would like to thank TFS as well as our community for your support. We are grateful and honored to provide our service to the citizens of merit and other communities in our service district.
