Training and Equipment

Training weekly provides us with the skills we need to operate equipment, perform tasks and work as a fluid team. We take training very seriously but have lots of fun at the same time. There is a lot to volunteer firefighting and we always are looking for new members who maybe interested in joining. Come out any Tuesday night at 7pm and see what it is all about. We also offer a junior firefighter program for those who are interested and qualify. Visit the contact us page and drop us a line to obtain more information.

The New Truck Has Arrived!!

We are so pleased to announce that our new attack truck (Engine 1) has arrived! It is replacing our 27 year old Engine 1 which has served us well.

Thanks to the community for all the aid in raising funds to purchase our new engine. Fundraising is ongoing and donations can be made at the Village of Dorchester office.
