The district is operated by a full-time Fire Chief, administrative assistant and volunteers. A community elected Board of Fire Commissioners oversees and guides the organization to best meet the emergency response needs of the community and assisted areas. The district currently provides Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) services as well as rescue, structure, wildland, and other types of responses.
Of all calls for service received, approximately 83% are EMS and 17% are fire calls. Professionally staffed by volunteer responders and a paid Fire Chief and administrative assistant. With future hopes of firefighter/EMS response paid staff on duty at the station, the response times would drop and there would be additional units available in case of multiple calls happening at the same time. Currently, in the case of multiple calls, there are agreements with neighboring districts for mutual aid, however, it further increases response times, and they may be unavailable due to their own incidents.
