I
have no ambition in this world but one, and that
is to be a fireman. The position may, in the
eyes of some, be a lowly one. But we who
know the work which a fireman has to do believe
his is a Nobel Calling. Our proudest moment
is to save lives. Under the impulse of such
thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills
us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of
supreme sacrifice.
--
Edward Croker, Chief of Department, NYC
1899-1911

Volunteering
is the perfect opportunity to provide a valuable
service to the community. No volunteer
organization could function properly without an
adequate membership, and, unfortunately, volunteer
fire companies are especially susceptible to this
problem. Help yourself, help the Fire Company, and
most of all, help the community.
There are
many jobs in the fire company. If you are
not interested in firefighting, the majority of
the work required in the fire service is ensuring
that we are ready to respond when the call comes
in. Use your skills and talents to help us behind
the scenes. You can help by servicing equipment,
cleaning equipment and the station, seeking
donations, fundraising and grant writing. If you
have a talent not listed above, we could still use
your help.
