were renumbered to align with a <br />countywide communications plan. <br />Station 1 became Station 110, Stations <br />2, 3 and 4 became 120, 130 and 140, <br />respectively. In 2017, Station 110 was <br />decommissioned andthe propertywas <br />sold. <br />What started as a volunteer fire <br />department in 1943 has evolved <br />into a combination full-time and <br />part-time department that provides <br />around -the -clock staffing to our three <br />communities. Starting with a few part- <br />time members providing staffing for a <br />duty crew, and eventually expanding <br />to 24-hour staffed stations, with part- <br />time members filling those shifts. In <br />2024, the hiring of 6 full-time Captains <br />allowed the fire department to staff <br />all three stations with an on -duty <br />crew when at full staffing levels. This <br />addition has helped reduce response <br />times to the northwest section of <br />our service area and allowed the <br />department to reduce the times a <br />response would be delayed due to <br />overlapping or concurrent calls. <br />Over the years the training of the <br />members has expanded to include <br />Fire Fighter I & II, Haz-Mat Operations <br />and EMT. Many members have <br />additional training such as Water/Ice <br />Rescue, Haz-Mat Technician, Ropes <br />and Confined Space and Paramedic <br />reflecting the department's dedication <br />and progress. <br />
