Last winter, when a house fire broke out, our first thought was to make sure no one was trapped inside. Thanks to our new emergency alert system, we reached the homeowners right away and confirmed that everyone was safe while volunteers worked to knock down the fire. That same system has helped us during medical calls, storms, and plenty of other emergencies around town. Our expansion into a lockbox program now gives us quick access when the doors are locked and we can't reach a keyholder.

It’s been another busy year for your volunteer fire company. Our crew—your friends and neighbors—answered more than 140 calls of all kinds. Between those calls, we:

 

• logged hundreds of hours of training

• welcomed several new members, including one who jumped right in to train as an EMT

• signed up many of you for our emergency alert and lockbox programs, which help us access homes and businesses quickly when no one’s there or they cannot answer the door

• made the down payment on a crucial new fire truck that we hope to receive by the end of 2027

• acquired an inflatable boat and motor for ice, island, and shallow-water rescues

• ordered turnout gear (coats and pants) to replace the out-of-date sets for our interior firefighters

 

None of this would be possible without your help. Whether you live here year-round or spend your summers enjoying our peninsula, your support keeps our volunteers ready and our town safe.

​

We would love to have you join our list of supporters! If you can, please chip in this season to help us keep the lights on, the gear up to date, and the trucks rolling. Every bit truly makes a difference when someone’s having their worst day.

And we’re always looking for more hands! There’s a place for everyone—on the trucks, in the station, or helping behind the scenes. Take a look below for ways to pitch in.

​

Thank you, your support keeps us going. We hope you’ll never need to call us—but if you do, we’ll be there.
