Do you think you have to be a strong young man to fight fires?
Volunteers – FD 16 is 100% volunteer powered.
As of the start of 2013 the average age of our firefighters is 56 years old, both males and females, with women making up one third of the total and one half of the officer corps.
And it is safe to say that we are not as young or in as great a shape as we would like to be. We acknowledge our limitations and do the best we can to stay within them.
We are a part of the community, and we welcome any person who would like to help out. You do not have to be a twenty year old athlete. We can definitely put what skills and physical abilities you do have to good use, be it as a firefighter or some other capacity.
How can you help?
The district has a very limited tax income to fund current operations as well as upgrades to capabilities. We make every penny count and take every opportunity to earn income from contract firefighting or to get awarded grants that significantly enhance our services. You can help by donating your time or skills or through cash or equipment donations (you can even signify what it goes for) or lending us the use of equipment or property that would further enhance our capabilities.
If you have questions or need info that cannot be located on this site then please contact us via email or phone
Should you be interested in volunteering your time with the District, we would definitely like to hear from you.
