Without our dedicated volunteers, the more than 50,000 residents of rural Boone County would face a much greater tax burden to employ and outfit full-time Firefighters and EMS Responders, or otherwise be without protection.
Volunteer firefighters come from all walks of life. Our members are farmers, doctors, teachers, nurses, construction workers, EMT’s, paramedics, students, accountants, and career firefighters. They joined the department to give back to their community and help their neighbors in times of need. Along the way, they have developed friendships and a strong sense of family with those on the Fire District.
