The department recently went in with neighboring departments in Summers County, and was able to purchase new S C B A's (air packs). We put them into service last night. This was a very expensive purchase but we will be able to serve the community with better equipment that keeps our guys safe. As always thanks for your support.

Christmas came early this year, the department was able to purchase new extraction tools. These tools are battery powered to help us extract patients more efficiently. They meet the current standards for vehicle rescue, we would like to thank the community for their support of the fire department without the support purchases like this would not be possible.
