The Wascott Vol. Fire Department covers 144 square miles in our township. It also includes 204 miles of road.
The Department is outfitted with 2 pumpers, 1 tanker and 1 equipment vehicle.
Meeting dates and times: The first Wednesday of every month is our training night. We start at 7pm. The third Wednesday of the month is our business meeting, which also begins at 7pm. The third Saturday of the month is another training that starts at 9 am.
Please feel free to contact any of our members if you are interested in joining us in serving your community. If you are worried about fighting fires, don't be. There are many jobs at the Fire Department other than fighting fires. Helping fire fighters set up pumps at watering points are some of the things that are amazingly important. The task may seem of less importance, but fire fighters will beg to differ. Please think about joining our fire department to help your community.
Thank you for supporting your local fire departments.
