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 Station Safety Complex located at 674 HWY 17. The campus style complex will have a maintenance and storage building with approx 3950 sq. ft, administration building with 5854 sq. ft., and the fire safety/living quarters will be 12476 sq. ft. Projected completion of the building is set for 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 knows the work which a firefighter has to do, believes 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 are ambition and life and to make us serve the general purpose of human society."
