The members of our
department have taken training in fire fighting, first aid, vehicle
extraction, water rescue and wildland fire fighting. It is hard to have
everyone trained in every aspect of what we do. Our role has progressed a
lot further than just a fire fighting team. We are fortunate that all our
members have been able to take training in different courses to better
enable us to respond to many types of emergency situations.
The volunteers who have served the
department as Fire Chief are:
- Douglas Gullon 1973 - 1978
- J. Robert Browne 1979 - 1990
- Keith Tattrie 1991
- Harold Gullon 1992
- J. Robert Browne 1993 - 1994
- Doug Gullon 1995 - 1997
- Keith Tattrie 1998 - Present
From an old 1956
International truck that did not start well in cold weather, we now
have 4 modern fire trucks.
1998 Metalfab Pumper Tanker
1992 Ford 3/4 ton utility truck
1992 Ford Rescue Van
2001 Metalfab Pumper Tanker
We currently have in service 12 sets of
breathing apparatus, we are upgrading our turnout gear. All members
have pagers; the hall has a modern communications system.A generator
was purchased for us by the Auxilliary for the Millennium year. Most
recently we purchased a Rescue-Boggan to use for response to ATV /
Snowmobile accidents. This was cost shared by the Fire Dept.
Auxilliary, Route 6 Snowmobile Club and Fire Department. The Snowmobile
Club and ATV Club have given us a list of contacts to call and they
will respond to the emergency with the proper machine to tow the
Rescue-Boggan.
