Complexities of Our Work

The members of our association take their roll as a firefighter seriously. We work hard and train hard, always looking to be ready. One of the most difficult parts of our job that is very particular to our small town environment is that we are regularly dealing with the emergencies of people we know. This can sometimes work to our advantage but mostly it can add an addition emotional layer that most large city departments only see sometimes.
