OUR DEPARTMENT
We consist of 31 A LIST Members, 9 B LIST Members, and 12 Lifetime Members. The A List are the front line firefighters, who have pagers and respond to the calls, the B list show when they can, many of them are further out of town or work out of town, and can’t make as many calls as the A list. They remain on the fan out list and are called in the event of a major incident or if there is a shortage of A list firefighters available. The lifetime members all have been with the department for at least 25 years and have all the privileges that the A list members have.
