With Gratitude
HonoraryMembers
Not every person who has given something important to this department wore a turnout coat. Honorary membership recognizes the community members, supporters, and friends whose contributions made a measurable difference.
Community supporters
Honorary
Honorary members are elected by the membership to recognize individuals outside the department whose support has been substantial and sustained — benefactors, advisors, long-standing vendors, and community partners who invested in this department's ability to serve the town. Honorary membership is a gesture of lasting thanks. It carries the department's formal recognition, but it is distinct from life membership, which is reserved for those who served on the active roster.
Active roster alumni
Life Members
Life membership is awarded to those who gave twenty-five or more years of active service as firefighters, EMTs, or fire police — people who answered the alarm. The criteria are different from honorary membership, and the two recognitions are not interchangeable.

Support makes this possible
The community
keeps us running
Every donation goes directly into training, equipment, and keeping the apparatus in service — including Ambulance 589, one of the very few volunteer departments in Monroe County still running its own ambulance.
