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 fire responses.
From 2013 to 2022, the district has experienced an increase in calls for service of nearly 44%. Of all calls for service received, approximately 85% are EMS and 15% are fire calls. With firefighter/EMS response staff, the response times to these areas 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, we have agreements with our neighboring districts for mutual aid, however, it further increases response times, and they may be unavailable due to their own incidents.
