As a result of the recent rains, the burn ban in Polk County has been lifted and all normal rules for burning are now back in effect. If you have any questions, please feel free to call your local fire station.

Construction is in progress for the new Fire Safety Complex, at 674 US Highway 17. The campus style complex will have a maintenance and storage building about 3,950 square feet, administration building with 5,854 square feet., and the fire safety/living quarters will be 12,476 square feet. The projected completion of the building is April 10, 2010.

"I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a firefighter. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lonely one; but we who know the work which a firefighter has to do, believe his is a noble calling. There is an old adage which says that, 'Nothing can be destroyed except by fire.' We strive to preserve from destruction the wealth of the world, which is the product of the industry of men, necessary for the comfort of both the rich and the poor. We are defenders from fires of the art which has beautified the world, the product of the genius of men and the means of refinement of mankind. But, above all, our proudest endeavor is to save lives of men - and the work of God Himself. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice. Such considerations may not strike the average mind, but they are sufficient to fill to the limit of our ambition and life and to make us serve the general purpose of human society."
