Kirkwood Fire Company

All area volunteer fire departments are in need of volunteers! Firefighters are the greatest need, but there are other things you can do to help your local fi...re company. Many fire companies will be doing "virtual" open houses on Saturday, April 24, noon to 3 pm. If you are interested involunteering, please contact your local fire company or e-mail us at [email protected] with your street address and we will refer you to a fire department. With volunteer numbers dwindling, what will happen when there is no longer anyone to respond to your 911 call? Please consider volunteering to help your community! Please share this on your page to help spread the word!
