Coordinator's Message

Please support the volunteer fire and EMS responders of the County.  The need for more volunteers is greater than ever.  If you cannot volunteer, please consider offering them support in their various activities and events.  Attending a firehouse dinner or pancake breakfast is a great way to allow you to say thank you to the volunteers in your community who answer your calls for assistance.

Stay safe

John Murphy, Coordinator
