- Provide state of the art emergency medical care.
- Provide the community with an excellent fire prevention program that includes public education and arson investigation.
Chief McDonnell’s goal is to accomplish this mission while maintaining a high regard for the safety and health of our personnel. The Fire Department will maintain a high standard of training and will actively participate in the community, serve as role models and with dedication and commitment provide a valued service deemed excellent by our citizens.
