Insurance Service Office Rating (ISO)
The Town has a Class "5" fire rating from the Insurance Service Office. The Town's department is
in the Tri-State Mutual Aid Association which allows us to call on other departments for help with
large fires or multiple fires.

First Responder Program
The Fire Department runs a First Responder program which means the personnel are trained in certain
first-aid and other medical procedures and can assist the county ambulance crew during medical calls
and, on occasion, will respond to medical calls without the county ambulance when the ambulance is
not available.

Fire Prevention Program
The Fire Department conducts fire prevention programs for elementary and secondary school children.
Free home inspections are available upon request (886-7075). Tours of the Fire Station are also
available upon request.

CPR
The department conducts CPR classes on a regular basis. These classes are available to all interested
parties for a nominal fee. Information about the classes is available upon request at 886-7075.

Private Fire Alarm Systems
The department welcomes private fire alarm systems, but requests homeowners to register the system with the department and leave a key and alarm code with several responsible and available neighbors in case of an alarm malfunction.

Fire Hydrant
The department checks and flushes all fire hydrants twice a year.
