for Emergencies

Like their brothers and sisters across our country who choose to serve in this line of work, our firefighters and emergency responders are willing to take risks to their own lives every day to save others from injury and loss of life.

They also put their own safety at risk in order to control property damage and property loss. We cannot emphasize too much the appreciation and admiration we feel for the sacrifices they make to keep us safe from harm.

 

Rob Robertson is our Fire Chief who

supervises the operation of our Fire Department members. Thank you to Rob and all of our first responders for the services they provide. Full-time first responders are: Mitchell Eberhardt, Brian Jones, Rob Robertson, and Shad Stanifer.

​

Our Fire Department is located next to City Hall at 32 N. Court Street and is staffed 24 hours a day.
